Ok..when is enough enough ?
Got into it today and have a laundry list of things to do just to get it running. As some of you know fuel and break lines need to be done. Seems the fuel pump is now shot as well as the Ignition Mod. No fuel..no spark. Also knew this was coming..intake manifold gasket leeks. Oh well may as well rebuilt TBI while it's all off. Of course a gasket kit will be in order as well. No sign of head gasket problems but where do I stop.
Also the rust I've bin taken care of is only hiding the big stuff..2 roof supports closest to the back door almost gone.
Then there's knowing the tranny has never bin serviced w/ 213,000 plus miles.
Seems I'm at a turning point. I've got so much into it it would kill me to watch it go to the yard. Yet if I stay on course I will have to make a commitment which will someday include welding, complete engine rebuild, not to mention the interior isn't even close to being a reality. Oh and did I mention the $100.00 worth of gas sitting in the tank.
What to do..what to do. I'm really thinking about shutting it down. Pull the new parts and cabin interior already installed and sending it on it's way.
