I'm calling out myself. After starting this thread a while back I find that I must add my name to this list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I haven't worked on Blackie in a while, now. It sits in the garage along side the Subaru awaiting it's transplant and gathering dust all the while. To compound matters my wife has placed all of her jewelry stock in the garage whilst company is here. (It was necessary to free up one of the bedrooms.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I hate losing momentum. I never get anything done if I don't work on it (even if in my head)a little bit everyday. Makes me want to roll a grenade in my own garage sometimes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Hopefully I will get back on it next week after the family is gone.

Yeah well, still haven't gotten to my brakes... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
But then again...Riquemar is still 'almost' done with his GT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) We close escrow on the new house next week so hopefully now that I'll have some real man space I can get to it! |

Me too. Lots of commitments recently and also I just need to update the thread. I'm going back out there today to do some damage.

After your newly created honey do list that you don't even know about. All you know are the obvious things.....she has a much longer list yet to be revealed. From one who knows....the list starts to materialize as you are walking out the door to work on the car. |

We do what we intend to do. I guess I haven't really wanted to get more done on my car or I would have found the time. Today is full up, but tomorrow I'm going to get the ash tray and glove box done.

Well it's been almost a year since I made progress on the car. Today I started fitting the rear glass bumper and fixed the starter issue. I made a promise to drive her this summer or sell it. Threatening myself works sometimes.

I had to drag this back up. It's been 9 month's since we last revisited this. Enough time for a human being to develop from a single cell into a miraculous being. And probably enough time to put a good sized dent into your 914 workload. But have you? I know ChrisH is still working on his project (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) when he feels like it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) And Sir Andy's Limo project might rust away with age before another hand touch's it again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Rich, are you still on jack stands? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) And then there is Dave (silversocal IIRC)who is using parenthood as his excuse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) And I'd love to see Jim Kelly's relic run before we all get old and die.

Haven't done squat on my brake swap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) But I did just buy a new welding machine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) it'll probably just sit there and not get used... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

My name is Blake. I'm a chronic procrastinator and submit my name for public harassment.

How about the two of yous just do 1 thing this week on your 914 and post it here by Sunday. One little thing! That's all it takes to get back into your project. The challenge has been issued. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

Usually I'd just buy something from the parts department of the world, store it in my ever growing pile of stuff and call it good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Not this week though. This week, I'm going to clean up the speaker wire hanging out from under the dash and remove old and useless speakers. |
