I hear you. This morning I amended my parts order and started one return (all for daughter's car). My method is salvage and repair of parts as much as replace. Buying only PS Reservoir cap and gasket for 5 bucks rather than entire new reservoir for 25 bucks. My daughter and I learned more about the PS system by cleaning the reservoir tank than by just changing out the part for new. Stuff like that.

But it takes more time. If I were not working from home, I am not sure I would be doing even half of this.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
