It is starting to pay off, now the car is a treat to drive, the thing is that until 2012 the car was being maintained the Pakistani way, as soon as my brother and I started getting more involved, the car is getting better and better, we discovered some amazing people In tge process, the things that I now am fixing wouldn't even be discovered by someone who does not take interest in cars.
Plus I am learning quite a bit because of the car.
Just do what people like @zulfiqar say and it will end well.
