Is it worth it?
Yes it is! 
I've been busting my $%& on my '82 for a little over a month now: trailing arm assembly, brakes/calipers & etc, pump, filter, fuel hoses, Rear seal & etc, trans gasket, valve gaskets, adjustable strut rods, f&b shocks ... well you get my point. I dropped more than I'd like to admit but the Vet runs SWEET(!) and it's getting better every day.
Today I had a blast while driving and it made it all worth wile. It ran sweet, everything worked, well aside from the... I digress. Bottom line, was it worth it, YES it was.
... and theres more to go.
