[OK-944]

Then again...then again....jeeesh!

I could, I suppose...just start pulling stuff off - as in everything down to the chassis. Then it would be possible to build things back up again. I really cannot not see any other way with this car.

I could also pull stuff off and go at everything with my angle grinder and an assortment of wire cups and wheels and Roloc discs - then refinish and re-coat everything.

But wiring? Even though I'm very diligent about cleaning and, if necessary, replacing existing wiring, cannot read a wiring diagram to save my life! I'd need to leave the wiring in place and work around it - then replace what I'd need to, wire by wire...at the last minute.

Funny thing how at the end of a given day with this car I'm just ready to throw in the towel...but then...with a bit of bourbon/beer/G+T/Negroni/or what have you, a bit of reflection and philosophizing, and hopefully a bit of sleep...I get up the next morning and take another look, and
think..."I won't call Justin - just yet!"

(ps...yeah, the interior isn't too bad - but the seats? They're each rusted solid to the floor!)

(later edit) - Then again, I could simply wait for one of those “great car, just needs an engine” deals - fix up and drop in my “spare” engine and call it a day. Hmmm…this deserves a bit of thought, aided by this evening's libations. Let's see...its just a tad cool for a G+T, but maybe not cool enough for a neat bourbon. I think a Negroni would be about perfect!
