The entire wiring harness is new as well as the electronic gauges and interior. Just had the radiator re-cored and dozens of other things I don't have the money to fix. Not just that but the house is not livable and I wouldn't have a place for it. It would just rot and die in storage. I've been working on it most weekends with my dad as a father son project and we were about to have it inspected to drive. The fuel tank has water in it and so does the engine, transmission, and rear diff. I can't see myself redoing the last years work, it was just so much.
Too bad. Somebody will get a hell of a deal at the insurance auction then since none of that is insurmountable. That old stuff can take the water way better than to new.
True about the house taking priority though.
