I had a 1985 Isuzu 4wd P'UP..
I bought it as a DD for the Indiana winters.
When it ran, it ran & drove fine, but I bought it with high miles...(BLOW-BY!)
Had the top end done, and it blew out the bottom end.
That was enough...buh-bye, money pit!
I probably should mention the 68 Dodge Charger I had right after high school...
(It thought it was a 4wd)...until I broke the rear shock top crossmember off the frame and jammed a Gabriel Adjustable E compressed trying to perform an ill-advised maneuver off-road.. I got it fixed, and eventually sold it. The guy I sold it to later took it offroading...ON ITS ROOF! (He later thanked me for installing a roll bar).
I wish I had that car now, in the condition it was when I first got it...

Tranny toasted so I traded the 40's for a Ford ThunderJet 429 and a C6, used Advanced Adapters T-case adapter and lowered the lift 3" so rear driveline angle would work.

19-- Jeep flat fender, D50 from above running gear(yes an IFS Jeep) and the 35" Buckshots from the Bronco. Body work done to make it straight and clean. when the 2.6 mitsu motor died in made an adapter to bolt up a 2.8 Ford V6 to the D50 5spd. Traded in on something.

Even with cars I bring them home fix them and slam a nice paintjob on them and then I get offers and I wind up selling them.
