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 |

this is exactly what I've ben doing... when you post that 10 minute progress that took you 2 hours.... all it takes it one "good job" to make you want to keep it up! remember we are all here for encouragement and the occasional (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) also, I picked an event... and I want to have the car at that event... MUSR 7 so that is a big-time motivator! BIG TIME!! last year I ran out of gas on the project, I set my sights to low and got complacent, then took a few months off when I could have been doing a lot of these little things... now my pace is slower, but steadier, and I get a lot more done! it IS very hard to stay motivated... but beer and friends help! that's another thing, have a local buddy stop by to help... even if he does nothing... that company helps! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chatsmiley.gif) oh, and being organized DOES help... I spent almost an hour the other day looking for my angle grinder tool that removes the wheel... I AM NOT organized |
