Perhaps a little trip to the indy BEFORE you purchased the car to have it inspected would have saved you some $$$. Purchasing one of these fine cars is often an emotional experience and we don't always think things through when we think we're getting a good deal. I always remember the old adage, "if it's too good to be true, it probably is." These cars are a snap to work on and with the help available on this site you can do most of this yourself if you have some free time and few tools. Good luck.
