It's fun. This one was $300, then my friend put $450 into it, then I bought it from him for $500 and put new tires and had the rear windshield installed (replacement windshield came with car, but in the back seat). It's got serious rust issues, but it will shortly pay for itself in fuel savings and I am learning alot in the mean time. I can take as long as I need to work on it as the SD and TD are daily drivers for my wife and I...this can sit on jacks for a month if need be and I take my time, post questions, drink beer, smoke and do alot of staring while thinking "there has to be an easier way"...usually there isn't.
Good luck. P.S. Not sure how you plan on filtering, but I am gonna switch to simple filter bags. Hang them over a drum or 5 gallon buckets and that's it. SIMPLE is the name of the game or else it get's tedious. Please keep me updated, Kevin. Oh, and always err on the side of a thin mixture...too thick will screw up the IP quickly.
