Stop in for a cup of coffee

That's the way it goes...

But you have to spend the money to fix it right or it will give you fits...

It used to be much cheaper to keep them running back in the old days...

When I was younger, you could get most of the parts to fix it either at the parts store or hardware store... Now most of the parts from back then are no longer stocked/carried...
I don't think everything is too bad priced to a fix a car now a days but I suppose if I was used to prices back then, it would seem like a lot now.

Its just an expensive hobby and either you lay out the cash to get it done or you watch from the spectator benches. Just how it is.

this is my only hobby and what I get up and go to work for so its cool. I am going to get serious about getting my valiant going this winter.

I have the rear end set up with the gears I want and a sure grip.

I have the 4 speed set up ready to go.

Now just the brakes and then get into the body work
