Many of us who purchase "restored" vehicles have found this to be the case. My pickup was restored in the late '70's by a body-and-fender guy. Looks great, but I've spent the last two years sorting out various mechanical and electrical issues he snarfed up either by omission or commission. (And I'm finding some body issues that could have been done differently...) But it keeps life interesting. All in all, messed up as the truck may be, I hope my mechanicals are doing as well when I'm 91 years old.
