Every time I'd look at a new version, I'd reconsider and repaint and switchout the interior. Anything breaks I replace with new. Saved me a lot of money while I was playing with more expensive toys (owned a Cessna 172 for 7 years and a Bellanca Super Viking for another 7). I had to replace the engine at 250,000 miles 10 years ago (it's probably due for another...have close to 1/2 million miles on her.) Fresh paint...and she'll take anything on the road...still drive it like heck...and insurance/taxes are next to nothing.

Good goin rsquirell.. All the less environmental impact you made on the earth by avoiding all those many stupid cars being recycled or burried after a short lived, poorly engineered and cheaped out vehicles.
