Now you know why they sell these for under $1,000.00. They litterealy need everything. You put $2,000.00 into it, not mentioning a ton of your labor, and you end up with a worn, loose, loud running brand new used car. It's always better to get a low mileage example and leave the high mileage rusted ones to the wreckers, or buy back programs. It's not as if your restoring a rare Packard or Cadillac 16 cylinder. Sometimes it's liking clearing out the garage, you gotta close your eyes and toss it in the dumpster.
