Thanks so much! With the help of this forum and a couple great people, I’m starting to slowly forget about the bad experience and really starting to enjoy the car :)
Glad to read you are seeing the positives now! Yeah, it sucks being taken for a ride with your hard earned cash not being used efficiently by the restorer and the sting of that learning experience.
However, you’re rolling up your sleeves and fixing things yourself with the help of members here and contacts you know locally, which has also improved your auto mechanic skills. Those skills will help you for the many more decades the car will be in your possession!!! Your making lemonade out of lemons!
