I will be struggling in a couple of years down the road. In fact it was touch and go with the welding, i always said if the shell was f*cked or the engine went bang id pull the plug. Plus me and my dad lost all love for the car, with the problems its had. a simple headgasket change turned into a nightmare.
Perhaps for the best with this one, and can't deny you gave the car some love over the years.
Prob best not to tot up the totals, never a good move. Hopefully this won't put you off fiddling with another motor in the future. Hindsight is not to be trusted.

But consider how much "information" and "experience" cost... Then you realise it wasnt so bad.
IE: the racetractor. For fear of my own shock death I wont tot it all up...but I've learnt so much to apply to future projects
The info and experience i will always put to good use, me and my dad have done with the landy he has now, wiring in spots and doing other odds and sods with out any trouble, My dad knows a few things, but learned a lot with the metro a long side me. We both really went the distance with the two metros.
Id still will love to rebuild another car again, i do have unfinished bussiness there.
