Angela, good on you.... you will never regret the effort.
I spent several months doing a high end restoration on a basketcase Cushman scooter for my dad last year. It also involved telling some fibs. My dad is so very proud of his scooter and tells everyone he meets about it (he dreamed of owning one of these a teen in the 50's). I had NEVER seen my father cry in my 42 years, but when I wheeled it out of a back bedroom Christmas morning last year, he cried for ten minutes straight.
Other than this project, I am pretty much a bastard most of the time.
