The engine compartment in my 18 year old daily driver looks the same; only difference is a V8. Not a trailer queen either. People like you and me who take care of their vehicles themselves are not as rare as you imagine.

I think the reason you are getting many negative comments from owners of American brands is because they have difficulty dealing with the fact that basically in most countries Japanese vehicles are the logical choice for work vehicles and have been for many years.

American brands used to set the standard many years ago when they were rugged, simple to maintain and dependable. With most Japanese or Korean brands, you get quality and finish even in the most basic vehicles.

So basically there you have it, they have trouble dealing with reality!

I have to admit your pics look pretty good. From a guy that owned C-2, C-3, C-5, C-6 and C-7 Corvettes. And has been blessed with good health. May not be a fan of the vehicle, but have no qualms with your resto pics.
