I think I might be going crazy.

   You guys may know I bought an ltd II 4 door for the wife.  Its in pretty good shape with only 53k.  She ended up not liking the car.  So it started out.  I'll thought I'd start driving it as my daily driver.  I figure I gotta clean the interior up a little(it sat in a barn) and do something with the vynil top(torn).  I end up deciding to strip the vynil and weld up the quarter windows so we can do a quickie paint job and maybe the ltd II  sport stripes.  When cleaning the carpet I ended up tearing a section of it.  So I'm looking at putting new carpet in.  I have a set of black seats with blue inserts in the basement.  A friend of mine says he has a black lower dash he'll donate to the cause.  So now since I have black seats and a black lower dash.  I need to buy carpet I'm thinking color change.  I'd like to put his lower dash in, new black carpet and my black seat with the blue inserts.  I'll need to dye my door panels, b pillar trim, rear window/c pillar trim, and dash pad.  I wonder how many people have replaced their lower dash during a color change but dyed the pad.  I think I know where some black armrests and bases are I can get cheap.  So I think I can put black interior in it relatively cheap.  Then instead of white I'm thinking light metallic blue/ with the stripe if I don't run out of money on the project.
Here's what it looked like when I got it

Here's it with the magnum 500s ( looking for some used painted magnum 500s  These are from my wagon.  This car would be fine with painted magnums if I can find them cheap)

Here's the photoshoped version in white.  If I change interior I'd paint it Lt. met. blue.

Here's a picture of the replacement black seats.  The sides and back of the seat is black.  Only the seating surfaces are blue

Am I crazy to want to do this much work to a 77 LTD II 4 door.  I realize the car will still be worth very little, but it'd make a fun DD and I gotta do something with it.

Am I crazy?
