That is the hardest thing to resist when building a vehicle. It is so easy to get the "you might as well" disease and go off the deep end.
I had that problem really bad on my last Camaro. Original plan was to just replace all the age hardened body bushings & suspension bushings over one weekend then $60k and a year later I ended up with a completely rebuilt and restored car.
It turned out OK though because that car helped me get out of my bachelor pad and buy a house in a nice neighborhood where I wanted my children to grow up and go to school. No shop or garage to work in now but my girls are worth it.
