Yo! I had to suffer for a long time before my wife and I could save enough to buy something that I could get back on the street for nearly free,...and a much longer time before I could build something that I could be proud of, and would be fun! Been there, done that, bought the T shirt, and wore it out! Believe me!
Married in 1980, got my '68 Mustang in '92 as a driveable, used car. Two weeks in the garage, and having purchased only tuneup parts, it started going to work everyday. 70,000 miles later, I retired it from the road, restored it, and drove my beater '66 Mustang after swapping the engine from the '68 to the '66! Three years of driving the '66 primer red, and I painted it as the "flag car" after 911,...Sept. 2001. Get the idea?
It can be done within a budget, but over a LONG period of time. Todd.
