Pretty much, if it requires an engine hoist, I am probably not going to tackle it myself. Everything else, got plenty of jack stands, can't lose giving it a go.
oh yeah, you could boogie down in the driveway real easy getting it up and going. a long weekend of wrench swinging would put that on the road.
still gonna be out something like a G though; tires are gonna set you back half that to start. hopefully the brakes, tank and radiator aren't waxed from sitting. not the worst thing in the world, parts are available.
since you're on the fence about it, i'd say just get it up and running and make it safe and reliable to drive. then you can cruise that beast around and decide if you wanna hold onto it. never know, you might fall in love and wind up giving her the full razzle-dazzle.
