I replaced or rebuilt all of the mechanical systems, but haven’t touched the body or interior. $7,000spent on a professional engine rebuild including all the new internal parts and extensive machine work. $1,000 spent on automatic transmission rebuild. All new complete brake system including master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes, and lines. All new complete fuel system, including tank, lines, pump, and rebuilt  carb.
