...spend $50 to replace the door instead of taking a chance on hammering and bondoing it into shape

...spend $110 at the junkyard to replace the entire rear axle with one with disc brakes and limited slip instead of rebuilding these blasted drum brakes.

How about you?

The Challenge has started a problem. I am always looking at ways to fix/mod my cars as if every car I have is going to the challenge. Look at the repair I made on my Expedition this weekend (in another post here). I could have just purchased the replacement parts but no I have to see if I can make the part on a challenge budget.
