Its not always about financial decisions. The experience and knowledge you gain from doing restorations or rebuilds or even just general work on your car is worth the exrta money to be able to drive and enjoy your own work when you are done. Plus there is something very nice about knowing that YOU did something. YOU re-apholstered (sp?) it into the sex machine. YOU lowered it into the pimp-mobile. YOU rebuilt the engine into a thing of raw beauty and power. In the end having a car you enjoy, and having other people enjoy looking at it and being able to say "That it mine. *I* built it and did the work on it. I built something i really enjoy" is worth more than the 5k or whatever it would take to start with a different car in better condition or have someone else do the work.
