No, I Still Will Fly In IMC. I will just be on a more strict maintenance program with this airplane!
I'm sure that'll be a boatload of comfort when your vacum pump (your only vacum pump) fails, as they often do...or your electrical source (your only electrical source) fails as they often do...in IMC.
You've already engaged in foolish and stupid behavior by flying the aircraft in it's condition without any forethought or effort to check...why continue foolish and stupid behavior? This ought to be a wakeup call, not just for your maintenance habits, but for your entire method of operation.
It's not too late. Just say no.
