We need to get the original poster for the thread to buy in.

He wanted to do custom suspension and other mods that he did not buy the parts for. I would gladly help get it "running" with original suspension and what he already has.

The other issue is: Will he keep it or have to end up selling it anyway to pay his medical bills.

I'm willing to help if he can keep it and enjoy driving it. But if we have to go through all that effort and he will end up selling it, he may as well sell it as it is right now. It makes no sense to get together if he is going to have to get rid of it afterwards. It's not worth the effort to me if he can't keep it and enjoy driving it himself.

While I agree with you in part, Karl, I also look at it this way: Even if he does end up having to sell the car after we all help him put it back together, he will get more money out of it in a driving condition than he will as just parts to be assembled. That way, after the medical bills are paid, he may have some extra for other expenses. As a husband to a wife with Crohn's disease, I know that doctor's bills aren't the only expenses. There are also medications, and those are not cheap. One of my wife's medications runs $1500 for just two doses!

So regardless if he keeps the car and drives it or he does end up selling it, we will be putting him in a better position than if we leave things as they are right now. That's my $.02, and I'm sticking to it.
