Eventually I'm sure. My wish list took a serious hit when I saw how much things like brakes were going to set me back. I will be rebuilding calipers and master cylinders as well as having the rotors resurfaced. I am just getting into the wiring now. Hopefully I can have it down to just engine and frame by this weekend.

I could see rebuilding the calipers, but aren't rotors somewhat self turning, so to speak.  Let the old pads shine them back up for the most part, then Dremel to polish out what remains.  I mean, if they're not warped, keep 'em.
It's about taking in the most corners to your destination, not about the shortest, quickest route.

Ahhh the money pit is only about 6 inches deep right now.

I'm in about 6 feet.

And since I can never make up my mind about anything, I put it up for sale and have someone coming to look at it tomorrow haha.

Well that is a rather anticlimactic end to this project.

I feel a little goofy, for not posting this here earlier. I have the bike up for sale. $150 (what I paid for it) in case anyone needs a parts bike, or is just looking for a new project. I found the bike I really want, and should be picking it up in the next few months. Let me know if you are interested.

I have it up on CraigsList, if she doesn't sell in next few weeks, anyone on the forums is welcome to it as parts bike. Free to a good home in other words.
