Well, those other issues are gonna be piece 'o' cake for you to do, compared to some of the other stuff you've had to do!!! Is this car pretty rust-free??? Hate to see you welding every time you go to do a 1-hr job . . . . and six-hours later . . . LOL.

Have you hinted your intentions? Would she be willing to pay approximately $1,200 to 1800 to get the car back in perfect condition, and all the work done up front?
