how bad is bad ?

Listen to the wise men! I wish someone kicked me in the nads when I decided it would be great to do a full resto . And believe me my car wasn't that bad! If you must.... do as they say get a rust free body or a almost finished car always start with the best car you can! My car wasn't that bad but it has been 8-10 yrs building a rotisserie,soda blaster and collecting parts. I'm not a rich man either so I have to make and scrounge everything I need!.Sometimes I get over whelmed and stop and it might sit for a year or more .Plus I have a family that takes money and attention and other interests so the car goes to back burner.Believe me and all the others that car is a big project!!!! That being said it can be done as they say anything can be done . But I believe that you would be much happier,richer and driving a whole lot sooner if you choose a different car!
Good luck!
