Let's not miss the point here. Ive always driven character over quality. I drove an old fj-40 Land cruiser with a small block in it for 10 years and an old Z-71 gmt400 for another 10 years. I'm 45 and have owned only about 5 vehicles as my daily drivers. I'm well aware of character and issues with old vehicles. My question is why do restored vehicles never seem to function as smoothly as an unrestored rig, regardless of how clapped out they are, within reason obviously. Just making conversation and wondering out loud if anyone has completely rebuilt an old rig that functions 100 percent.
