This car stripped out the camshaft sprocket in 1994. I had never rebuilt an engine at that time, and was thinking of junking it, since it was burning a quart of oil a week before that. Our family decided to try something else and keep it out of the waste stream.
I now drive it to work every day, and do lots of short trips around town - store, school, post office, etc. It took more money that anticipated, but I am not an electrical engineer, and had a lot to learn. I started this project before there was an internet, so I had a lot of reading and phone calls to do. Now that it is done, it gives almost no trouble and requires almost no maintenance. If we stop at a gas station, it is just to fill the tires.
