Time has caught up to me Options

[shoguneagle]

I am in need of advice. At this stage of life I find it very difficult to ask since this involves something I have really enjoyed but have to give consideration to the real world realities.

I am considering selling my Porsche 914-Sixer which I have had as a hobby for the last 12-15 years. We have been through a lot together in building, parts location, and conversion to a 3.2 Carrera 1987 engine, a lot of new/rebuit parts, some differences in heating and cooling systems, etc. In sum it is a rolling chassis which has been brought to line, painted, and currently licensed in Oregon. It has numerous changes, additions, and improvements over the years which are to many to mention at this stage. We have even been through a theft of the car and all the parts (new and used) to complete a 916-GT. Car was recovered but the entire stock parts stockpile was stolen.

The problem is that I no longer have the deep interest in finishing the car; WHY?

Time has caught up to me in attitude, interest, health and physical aspects.

My concern is whether to sell the entire car, part it out, or just let it set in the garage. I could continue to work on it but this seems to be a little self-defeating. This dilemma requires me to seek advice. So here I am !!

What are your thoughts?

Please be open and practical; I have not said too much on this forum since I have enjoyed every aspect and gained knowledge from all the members. Frankly, I do need advice on this problem

Thanks
Steve

Sometimes all it takes is a little motivation from a helper, I too hit the wall with my car, I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start, I'd walk out into the garage look at it and give up, Rick Olah aka alien came over for a day and helped me. He told me to focus on one thing at a time. We both grabbed a door and worked on them , done. All I needed, from there on in I would pick one thing like a fender or hood and finish it. It was all down hill from there. I can't thank Rick enough, I don't think I would of finished my dream car without his help that day. I would love to hear you restored it again.

Man that seems like a life time ago now doesn't it? It was a great day! How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
