Resurrected Junk
Thanks for the compliments. Bummer about the layoff and all. Yeah, I like to tinker. The "Devil's in the Details" is true. I think the tinkering massages out the details.
It wasn't until someone in the local club said I had a story to tell in with my budget restoration for a daily driver that I considered starting a thread on it. Sure, it could be done better by someone with more skills or time. I did some things on this car I have never done before (re-skin and upholstery).
The final tally on the cost is $1,851.65 for the car as it sits today. Not bad for a driver. There are a few things that need tinkering to fit/work better. The only thing that doesn't work on the car is the high beam indicator light. I'm figuring that understanding the third world engineering that went into the DRL switch may cure this problem.
