Beware the May As Well Syndrome:
https://www.britishcarforum.com/PHPhotoalbum/displayimage.php?pid=761
This all began as the usual sort of restoration with all the usual culprits being targeted for replacement, repair or refinishing, but gradually and imperceptibly I became infected by the May As Wells: since I'm doing "X" it would be short-sighted not to do "Y" too; and, if I do "A" and "B" breaks later it would be a false economy, etc., etc., etc, ad infinitum. (new master & slave cylinders rather than rebuild the old- they were doubtful anyway- right?, new brake lines rather than reuse old ones, better wheels, better headlights, new this, better that; and then there were all the excuses for new tools, too)
Before long everything I touched became the object of excessive attention. Indeed, even looking at a part made it susceptible to contemplated improvements....
Its gone too far for me to recover, but be forewarned, it may happen to you....
'67 Austin Healey 3000, in 3000 bits. THAT's how they came up with the name....
