I bought the yellow '73 in March, and have done a lot of work and replaced a lot of parts on it. I'm starting to think I'm plugging holes on the Titanic. If it's not one thing, it's another. I should have started with a better car(?) I should sell it and buy a better one(?) I'm at that juncture and need to make a decision. What to do..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Step away from it for a week or month or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) and return with a (hopefully) fresh perspective and new desire to work on the 914.
I have done that in the past. Took me a year to get my LE running after I bought it. Lot of time spent not working on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I went through similar thoughts recently on my '72 that had been sitting in someone's yard for a long time. I got it running pretty quickly and I thought "it only gets better from here." But, not surprising, all that stuff that has been waiting to break for 15 years started breaking. And it felt like every time I made progress on something something else would break and take me two steps backwards (clutch tube, ignition, starter, etc.). You'll eventually catch up with it all and make progress again. If you can afford to, step away for a bit. |
