I would be surprised if anyone has put more into a project and had so little out it than me, but i just stay positive, i mean come on what else am i going to waste my money on??????

        Choose a job.
        Choose a career.
        Choose a family,
        Choose a ****ing big television
        Choose washing machines, cars,
        compact disc players, and electrical tin openers.
        Choose good health, low cholesterol
        and dental insurance.
        Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments.
        Choose a starter home.
        Choose your friends.
        Choose leisure wear and matching luggage.
        Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase
        in a range of ****ing fabrics.
        Choose DIY and wondering who you
        are on a Sunday morning.
        Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing
        sprit-crushing ga me shows
        Stuffing ****ing junk food into your mouth.
        Choose rotting away at the end of it all,
        pishing you last in a miserable home
        Nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish,
        ****ed-up brats
        You have spawned to replace yourself.
        Choose your future. Choose life.

          error has the right idea i have spent a year trying to understand how to complete the goal i have set my self and after realizing what i had missed out on have nearly completed one stage. and shall now have a break and build up parts for the next round.

          do stick hard at it as i have started to rediscover the joy as this part comes to and end

                  Damn, darkhorse beat me to it. All I bought was an interesting oldish car. Now it's a semi-interesting old money pit.

                    Need an immovable timeline to aim for/reward...helps focus the mind. No project on these cars is going to be easy so also be prepared to compromise.
