[Roadsters] Absurd Price of Parts

[Ken Oxenrider]

No, my wife has owned this one since 1971.... she is the second owner....

Very good advice from everyone.

I am trying to make it back into a fair-weather daily driver.  In other 
words, a new top is at the bottom of the list.  My grille is intact but 
has some minor dings and bends. I have no idea what they charge for 
fixing those I have spent about $500 on brake parts and other items like 
a new master cylinder, new clutch master cylinder and slave, and various 
tools.  Can't wait to get it back on the road, probably by spring.  The 
gas tank has to come off and be flushed and checked, including the 
sending unit, and all new gas & brake lines.  It has been sitting for 14 
years so I feel I need to do that.  Making the upgrade to the four 
piston calipers and Altima rotors while I am at it.

I have a blog about it in case anyone is interested or bored at the 
moment. :)

I wonder if this is the one that was on eBay months ago.

    Here is a prime example of why my roadster will not be brought back
    to stock.  I realize this is a rare, new, in the box grille but it
    is just an example of how crazy parts prices have become.
