haha you always come through with good info. thanks mike.
And yeah the point to it is that the car was given to me for the sake of it to go to good use and the fact that I was willing to put the time and money into it. ( its obvious that yes I have an advantage to the price of things…to an extent ) either way I did it and keep in mind that if another party would have done the same they would have been spending more to keep the car on the road than it may be worth.
