No chance of new 4 door sedan shells.

Sounds like you have the right attitude though. It's hard to move on from a "project". My original green one was "given up on" due to too much rust. I had it for 3 yearsand I had to replace a lot of metal on that before finally deciding that I needed to look for one that needed less effort. I found one in the trading post as a abandoned project. It's funny how when it's not your only car..that the "too much effort" concept goes out the window. This is how the costs and timelines blow out. On a few occasions, I've discussed using project management techniques to ensure that car rebuild projects keeps to timeframe and budget. Otherwise these things don 't get finished. This is why there's so many unfinished projects in the trading post every week.

May the force be with you.
