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) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) +1 All great advice so far. I've been frustrated with my subie build so many times. If you just leave it for a week or so you'll get reinvigorated. Then dig in and see what you have. Assess the rust situation. |
