You're going to think I'm a dark cloud for saying this but..... dude, it's not worth going into debt restoring a car. I restored my Scamp last year and while the total restoration cost was within 15% of what I thought it was going to be, it's still a black hole. Considering your car is not a '68 Hemi Dart or a '71 340 Swinger, don't go overboard..... it is not worth it in the long run. Add in the fact you've got a wedding coming up which is another black hole, and you and your soon-to-be-wife are going to be behind the 8 ball before the gate opens. With the insane real estate prices we have here in the Lower Mainland, it's not the place to throw money down a couple of black holes. And just so you don't think i'm a 50+ year old guy with a pension who has nothing to worry about, I'm 31. Have you really thought this through?
