Really think this over before investing any money in your project.
I always wonder what the point of this kind of after-the-fact "advice" is. If it's your position that the O.P. should just tow the rig to the junkyard and kiss off the investment already made, I think that's ridiculous.
Since you've done this yourself, surely you learned something that may be of use to him in this project- why not pass that knowledge along instead?
Francesca, I thought I did pass on my knowledge. Knowledge from my undertaking such a project years ago. I tried to be as tactful as possible but some things that you want very badly can't be just wished to be.
This has to be a labor of love....love rebuilding something youself and be prepared to work on it at length even after you think its completed. Every return from a trip will involve a laundry list of needed repair items. All spare time will be devoted to this project. Every spare bit of change will be poured into this project. I hate to be the voice of doom, but experience tells me to never go through that experience again.
Save your money and put it into a kitty for the purchase of a useable oldie but a goodie that you can enjoy with your family.
Salvaging out this purchase can re-cope a bit of the investment.
