Repair and restoration is a commitment, some say a sickness, you have to decide what your intentions for the car will be, and remember that you will put more money into it than you will get out of it, we don't build our cars to make money, it's the 'thrill of the ride'. When I'm driving around in my car and pull up next to a newer mustang I think to myself 'my car may be ugly but it's paid for '. It will rise in value (hopefully) not depreciate.
