Default Re: Is it worth rebuilding

Check this out...
When I bought my 89GT a couple of months ago, I was estatic. Then after a week or so of snooping around under the hood I noticed that there was a whole PILE of stuff that needed to be fixed. I started rethinking it and wished I had spent more time searching.
But, now I'm more determined than ever. By God this is my Mustang... and I don't care what anyone else paid, what there's is worth, because this heap has grown on me and I've spent 2 months everyday working on it and too much money! It will someday be the baddest Mustang in North Alabama. Just not today...
If you have an attitude like mine, it's not about how much it's worth- or how much it's gonna cost... It's worth it to me. It's my 10 year project that 'I' will complete by myself so that I can look at it and look at what 'I' did.
If you don't see it that way, sell it to someone who does and buy a newer car. You'll be much happier when it doesn't break down every month!

PS: For instance, I have a horrible blue/purple paint job so I have to get it painted, oxygen sensors welded into the homemade h-pipe, a once nice fiberglass hood that some idiot cut the brace out of, peeling Chrome cobra r knock-offs, ugly euro tail lights (sell ya cheap!), 10 small dings/dents, cracked futuristic style valence, no radio, cut wiring harness to that radio, no sway bar, dang 90/10's on the front I hate, some moron tried to install speakers in the hatch by cutting up the interior panels, and believe me I could go on!
