BUT - it's loud. It's smelly. It's hot. It's cold and wet. It can be a bumpy ride. There's no stereo, A/C, or power anything. It's a seat, a motor, 4 wheels, and that's about it. You can't just jump in and go. You'll be constantly messing with it to get everything just right. You'll easily spend as much time under it as you do in it.

Above all - It's the perfect car for me.
Yep thats the car I want. Look if you want a car that had a stat like 75% of original owners never made the third payment, you should know what you are getting into. As for more money than brains well, I'm building a modest car with a modern stock drive line from scratch for less than most kits would cost. Now that is not the norm but I want this car to be special to me I could give a crap what anybody else thinks of it. when it's done it should be all of the above, including bugs in teeth.
