Unfortunately, while I'd like to recondition anything and everything I could find while stuff is apart, this is an "unbudgeted" issue...meaning I'm spending money I shouldn't getting this work done.
I will get what i can get done until I've killed the last penny I've got, and no more. Plus I have a W208 that only this week decide to have the convertible top operation crap out! So it's gonna be an expensive month!
Sometimes it would be nice to have "Jay Leno" pockets and get to fix everything no matter the expense!
