I love mine but I'm a fan of the mechanical side of things and the performance. I don't care about paint and perfection. I don't think I could worry about resprays and major cosmetic problems. Having said that the mechanical stuff if enough to drive you potty sometimes. But I'll always remember the horror of working on my Nissan 200sx and thank god that the Cossie is so easy to work on.
Stay optimistic and everything will be fine.
