I think that's one of the biggest challenges with these older cars.  They come from an era of repairing things and we live in an era of replacing things.  Just look at the old service manuals and all the things it shows you how to rebuild.  A modern service manual just tells you how to remove and replace.  Repair is a dying art  :(

Consumerism run amok.  Hopefully things will change, but I'm not sure about that.
