I never thought I'd give up on it, but I'm tired of tinkering on this piece of shit. It needs at least $2500 in parts, and $5000 in paint just to not look like a meth mobile. JUST finished fixing something major after 4 months of downtime, and 20 miles later it has a brand new problem. I've replaced nearly everything except the block. It's sat in the driveway more than it's been on the road. This is a retarded hobby FUCK!!!!!!!!! The real retard was me for buying this thing.

rattlecan paint job looks fine if you use clearcoat, know how to do it properly, and sand between coats.

Why are you buying projects above your skill level?

Take a breathe anon. Take some time make the car right. Wrenching is all about patience and not taking shortcuts. And yes it is expensive but in the end it's cheaper than paying a mechanic

I've been there and I'm over it. Not done with fixing up old cars but I'm gonna wait until I've got the money to buy a car and do a full build in one shot, go through the whole thing instead of trying to fix shit one piece at a time.

Invalid question.
Any car before the 2000's is well within any wrenchlet's ability
