What do you guys do when you get burned out working on your car, To keep progress up Options

I am loosing momentum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Me and a close freind have spent countless hours on my car, and it seems progress is slow.. we did take it for a quick spin last night, which at first seemed like we were over a huge hurdle, but then reality sat in today I worked on it all day messed with the door catches, triangle windows,which has been driving me insane... painted under the engine grills black, started to put on the side skirts, but didnt get them on...had to do some touch up painting on the longs so there wont be any rust for a very long time... and thats about it.. I need to order some carpet and a oil pressure gauge and sender, some seals, some seats or figure out what I'm doing with the seats, and belts, hook up the rear trunk pop, tidy up the wiring in the front trunk and other places and the list goes on ,, it now seems I am nowhere close to being finished....Thankfully next week I am going to be out of town on a business trip, so I wont be working on the car, hopefully it is the break I need to come back and be focused getting her finished...

if it's any comfort it took me 22 years to finish a ground up resto on a mustang. the end result was worth it. ALTHOUGH...

i learned a tremendous amount through this, that had i known it never would have been that long

1 establish REALISTIC goals of what you want in the end. I.E. driver, show car, ect...
2 plan phases I.E. tear down, brakes, body... whatever
3 DO it to your best ability but don't be stopped by "perfection". you as the owner will always know of something thats not just right. period.
4 enjoy. it's only a car. drive... enjoy...

thats my .02c anyway, good luck
