I don't know how to fix the time problem, but the $$$ issue was easy -- I just throw the receipts away and bury the old/installed new/never used parts in a storage shed. I started working on my "project" in July, 1975. Here I am, 39 years later, laying under the car in 110 degree weather welding in the last modifications to my FORTH front suspension. I thought I had it nailed at 3, but Ron Sutton threw a monkey wrench in that. When people ask me when it will be done, my standard answer has been "about 3 weeks". That answer doesn't hold up well anymore. I haven't faced up to the lifespan part of the equation, but I'm only 67, so that shouldn't be a problem.
