But even then, that would mean having the car sitting in the garage in an even worse 'looking' condition to the wife...for some completely undetermined period of time....which would drive her INSANE.

So tell her the garage is off limits, get it running and driving, and tinker with it. Best article I ever read in wooden boat magazine was about the project boat, on the hard that took 15 years to restore, ended being sold to settle the divorce, never sailed by the owner...vs the tatty boat that sails and gets tweaked in the off season.
