I have an '89 Mazda 626 which I have had for over 10 years.
It now has 195K miles on it and needs a new clutch.  Uses a
lot of oil too.  Normaly I would write off the car as all
used up.  But, damn, this is the best car I ever had.  I am
seriously thinking of sinking some money into it and getting
it in running condition again.  We are talking complete engine
overhaul and new clutch, brake system rebuild, new struts all
around, replace wear items in the front end, some minor body
work. Anything else I'm missing??

So am I being over sentimental about this car or do you think
it is a worth while project?  What kind of service do you
think I can get out of a rebuilt car??

Any other thoughts??

Thanks.
