Come to an end for now. or maybe not
Time has come to put it away and think what to do.
I've reached the point where i have had enough and i am thinking about scrapping the project all together so i have decided to put it away and think
for a while.

64,
I now how you feel. I been going on my 1302 since Sept 2002 but am almost there. There were times when the work seemed to be suffocating me
(especially when the body was off the pan and the channels were cut out). I'd leave the garage closed for up to 3 weeks at a time and surf on
weekends. Allways came back to it though.
Don't give up however a break and focus on something else then a fresh look at will do wonders. It looks too good not to finish and enjoy.

Thanks Brendan.
Yeah, I think a brake may fix my bordom with it.
All depends on the outcome of another purchase. I may finish it or i might part it out.
Unsure at this stage.

Maybe you love the process more than the end result?
By the look of the orange one you are almost there. It takes a lot of time and effort (as you'd know) but it is all worthwhile in the end. I say go
hard, get this one finished ASAP then take a break and enjoy it....don't start any more until you're done!
Good luck though, I hope you finish it.

PUT IT TOGETHER AND JUST DRIVE THE FREAKIN THING MAN!
DON'T PROCRASTINATE, JUST DO IT, THEN AT LEAST IT WILL BE WORTH SOMETHING TO YOU.
All work and no fun makes it so dull.
Is it drivable without the guards?
Then take it round the block for a hoon while no-one is watching. Give it a thrash, then have a cuppa and put it back together.
Remember that cars are supposed to be fun :party

The best thing would be to finish it. Then you will have the inspiration to finish all the others.

WOW! I am always inspired when I see you guys working on a project and when one is looking as good as this it is spine tinglling. My problem is I lack
the confidence not motivation, I wish I had your problem. There has to be a huge level of satisfaction when you drive something that you have rebuilt
and not just forked over the cash for.
If not for yourself, then finish it for us wannabes.
Commited dubber..... My wife thinks I ought to be commited!
