I had my last one (which is my profile pic) for 10 years, completely went trough everything! Paint, motor, trans.....had to sell due to divorce 6 years ago. I certainly didn't want to sell, I HAD to sell. Put so much time into it. I bought the one I'm building up off a friend of mine that is the original owner, car sat for 6 years so it needs some cleaning up and maintenance. Car has 42,000 miles, I plan on building it up like my last one. Might take a little longer but I'll get it.
