You are learning that just buying and replacing parts can be a rather expensive way to do things and success is not guaranteed. For what you have spent you could have sent the car to one of the venders. The good news is that you are probably not very far away from being done. All it may take is making sure some of the parts were correctly installed and some adjustments. BTW what was done to the motor that you had shipping on it? You say estimated labor, did you do this work yourself? If so you cannot add $2,000 because you didn't spend it. Anyway you are right in the "ball park" spending $13,000 for a nice '83 (maybe even on the low side).
