I bought the 80 knowing I had some work and $ ahead of me but hoping not a lot. (WRONG!!!)
Yesterday I popped the hood and decided I'd clean up and paint the engine bay. As I was standing there deciding where to start I noticed the master cylinder has been leaking!!!!
Now that in it's self is no biggie but add that to things like needing a new battery, fix fender and door, and a small list of maybe a 100 other things I started thinking I'd just part it out and recoup my money. Oh yea lets not forget I need a 454 also!!!
Anyway as I went through the day I decided no I will not part it out. I will get it back on the road. Maybe I can only buy one thing per pay check and maybe only fix one or 2 things a week but it will be rolling and running again.
I see how people can feel overwhelmed. Lots to do and many dollars to spend but I will make it happen.
So today is day one, let the fun begin!!!:beer:
Others felt my pain?
