You too can invest hundreds of hours and countless dollars in order to end up with a car that'll be worth maybe 4500 or so. (OK, so far I'm only up to 86 hours or so, and about $50, but I'm being careful with the money. It helps to be handy. And fearless.) The thing is, it only hurts if you try to make it into more than it is. I'm having fun turning this basket case (but rust-free, and sound) into a decent inexpensive convertible. Car-proud? Spend more money and get a good one to start with. I'm not afraid to drive this one in the rain! When I'm done fixing it up I sell it. (Or turn it into an RV toad, but my wife is resistant.)
