Reminds me of the guys (always guys) who recover aircraft wrecks from lakes and restore them part by part.

Rust, missing parts, expensive or often on-obtainable components having to live with the fact that no matter how much you do there is always someone else who has a better version of your vehicle and who is more than happy to tell you all the things that you have done wrong. Car trailers, tow hitches and the cost of gas in transporting the whole mess and the fact that no matter how much you have you still need more! Getting to the point now where I need to buy an M-416 trailer to drag behind for a generator and storage!
