I'm sure it's worth every bit of that. It's just a little more work than he's describing. I'd do it if it was close to me. OH, and "if" Embarrassed I had the money Wink.

It looks like it was intended for race use as there is no provision for HVAC controls. I'm always leary of half finished customs. Usually its half finished for a reason.

In understanding the purpose that this was moving towards, I do see a lot of potential - still think its a very good deal if the chassis and body are solid...

It appears to me that the financial loss may be the lesser of the two alternatives. Emotional losses are more of a deterant than money. I am SURE some of us have faced like issues. The heart is a fickel unit.  What we do not see is what lies beneath the surface of the reason.  Keep them in mind when you lay your head on the pillow at nite, and count your blessings that you do not have to deal with a heartache.
