When we acquire a project/flip/driver, we first do the following:

1. If it is broken...repair it.
2. If it is missing...replace it.
3. If it doesn't belong...remove it.

By doing so, we can see what we have, to start with and begin formulating a plan, for where we want to go with it.

Secondly, we focus on:

1. Start
2. Steer
3. Stop

By doing so, the truck can be used, while allowing us to dial-in the plan. The mind tends to think & process differenly, when it comes to the plan for the truck, when you can get in it, use it and determine what, if anything you want to do with it.

Thirdly, we determine, if the following, is appropriate:

1. Performance upgrades
2. Convenience upgrades
3. Cosmetic upgrades

We have found the methodical approach, listed above, is the easiest on our time, pocket-book, resources and peace-of-mind.
