i love my 914...and i dont think i realized what i was getting into when i decided to restore one...now im not giving up..but i just feel so worn out and like i havent made any progress...
the main issue is money....it takes alot of it for this car...and its hard to save up with my expenses...without money i cant really do anything...i keep trying to set goals for myself..but then i realize i wont be able to achieve them because of my lack of funds....its pretty stressful...maybe i just need a break from working on it for a couple weeks and i need to enjoy my other car and save my pennies.... im really hoping to get it painted by the end of this year...so hopefully i can do that... anyway...what do you guys do when you feel like youve ran out of gas |

Welcome to the club! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
I'm guessing 60% of us 914 owners are in your same situation. Probably one of the top reasons we own a 914 in the first place (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) You gotta pace yourself brother! ...And prioritize your project. Like for me, my car currently needs bodywork & a new paint job, but not as bad as it needs new tires and a tune-up/leak-sealing check-up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I've been a 914 owner since 1999 and as many know I've gone back and forth as to whether I should be sinking my little discretionary income into a 30-year old car that I KNOW I will NEVER get back if I do ever sell her. I've put her up for sale at least 3 times, only to reconsider after a great day autocrossing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) If you truly love your 914, then you just need to be patient with this ambitious project. Afterall, what's the hurry? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) It's not going anywhere, right? Someday you'll have a beautiful 914 back on the road and you'll look back at this little mental breakdown and laugh. Hang in there! |
