When we first bought this and we knew it was a basket case of sorts, I thought maybe this is the better way to go as you can still drive the car and fix it as you go.
Now I'm starting to think --> no.
This is the way to go. This is a much better and easier approach. This takes longer to do, but it's all done, ready and raring to go with many years of trouble free service other than the usual maintenance. Still an FE, just brought into the 21st century.
I will say one thing about this XL. This is the least rusty 3rd gen I've seen in original form and certainly the least rusty one I've owned.
The little bit of surface corrosion is so light it wipes off with your finger.
