Speaking of project cars, after much grease monkeying over the 3-day weekend I am declaring the death of my '88 Vanden Plas. It'll start up fine but after it runs awhile (at idle or driving) it starts to sputter. It will continue to run but the sputter continues and you cannot get any power. The car has numerous other issues (brakes, suspension, electric) which I was considering having repaired if I could figure out the engine problem. I got a few good years out of it but it's been in park for most of the past year and a half. Now I have to decide whether I want to donate it for a charity tax voucher or strip the parts and pay someone to haul off the hulk.
