Realistically though (not trying to discourage) but why bother? I've seen these things die out of the box, and I've seen them just refuse to stop for years and years.
I'd leave it alone and love it as that retarded dog that can't sit, roll over, or fetch the right stick, but just won't leave your side. It's sad when he gets hit by a car, but you always knew it would happen and just made the best of your time together.
For a good project gun that won't beak the bank, Cymas can be had for low low prices these days and relative to what they cost, absolutely rock. They're also metal (lots of steel on some models) and occasionally you'll get one with a wood kit that's just gorgeous.

I already have it laying around though, so I'm not going to buy a new project gun when I have a perfectly good one available. If it eventually dies on me, then I'll look at building on a better platform. I figure the Kraken is good practice and most of the parts will be compatible to throw onto a better gun in the future.
