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

Rick is right. Tell the club everything. Success, failure, frustration, stupidity, brilliance, delusion... whatever. We have ALL gone way, way down defore we started climbing back outta the hole. You'll get sympathy, understanding, harrassment, as well as stupidity, brilliance, and delusion in response! But ya gotta enter to win! Go on back out there and unscrew a part! It'll make you feel better. Whever an inanimate object nearly defeats me, I stop and say to myself "woah- who's smarter here?" With most non-living objects, even after a beer I can say proudly (maybe a little slurred though) "why, I think I am!" So, see, even if we can't really fix your car for you, we can add to the delusion!
