At a Crossroad...again. If I had only known!!!
Anyone else had this experience? I just can't spend too many more years on this baby.
WOW, I coulda written this post! I bought a 1972 Demon 340 in 1986 that had been "rode hard and put up wet". Carolina car so no serious rust. Messed with it and drove it around some 'till a rod knock started. Tore the engine and transmission out in "89. Kids in college, working crazy hours with on-call, took early out, started new job, moved, finished upstairs in new home etc, etc. Finally got back to it about 2009 (retired in 2008). Always something gets in the way or needs fixing.
Engine ,transmission rebuilt on run-in stand, interior coming along, Front suspension all rebuilt along with brakes. Gotta get under it and replace all fuel and brake lines and then drop drive train back in. At 76 YO this isn't fun any more so it will probably go to Carlisle next year needing some body work and total paint.
It's a labor of love until it isn't. I feel for ya all in the same predicament. The positive is, we all probably saved a Mope that would have gone to the crusher decades ago.
