Why isn,t your car finished/ started ?

$$$. Never enough. After puting food on the table and paying bills, there isn't any left for the car. Hopefully the IRS rebate check will help the car along.

 

55 hour work week, money,little league and blah,blah,blah.

 

wife, house and kid on the way.

 

Do they really have to be finished to be enjoyed? I've been having a great time with mine since 1961.

 

Don't even have a flat driveway to work on it in now. I will fix that once we buy a house this year.

 

new baby and a tiny garage, also my landlord lives 2 houses down so whenever I fire up a grinder or any noise out of the garage either he or his wife comes walking by to see what I'm doing, (they yell at me for working on the car cause the think I'm going to catch the house on fire. Lame asses!) gotta get a place with a 2 car garage! We're working on it though.

 

Lack of time... Lack of money.. Lack of talent.. The list goes on.. And on... And on.................

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Just out of the upholstery shop. ARE they ever finished? Still need a set of real original 32 inside door and window handles. Got HANDLES?

Like I told the kid, "Your music's not too loud, it just sucks and so does OKC!"

 

College is stopping me from finishing my car.

 

I just realized not much has changed since I wrote this. I have moved 4 times since, had 3 jobs, and still nothing has changed. I don't want to be the guy that blames not getting his car done on all the issues I'm having in life, so I won't. Time to get on it.

 

waiting for parts!

 

last two months it was too hot so i went to the beach every weekend, last week has been wet and cold.
still I have been doing little bits here and there but lately my shits been completely disorganised and when ever i do work on it i spend 4 hours looking for the part and 5 minutes fitting it, otherwise i go to fit something that should take 5 minutes but then spend 2 days modifying the part to fit since so much has changed on the car.
i wish i had the same motorvation as i had at the start when i would get into it friday night, get up at 5:30 saturday morning work on the car all day and go to bed at 3:30 am sunday morning to wake up again at 7am, just early enough to have breakfast and start grinding and welding.

 

put mine on hold for while to focus on saving money for my girlfriends visa/moving/living expenses if she decides to move to australia

 

I had no garage and a dirt driveway for the past two winters. Just bought a house with a garage, but now I'm too broke and it's too cold. Oh sweet irony.

 

GET OFF MY ASS MAN . big f#*?n deal i been mocked up for 2 years

did my wife tell you to start this thread?

 

Time and money.

 

Just lazy I guess

 

My excuses: Winter!!, so broke I can't even pay attention!!, lazy!!, other cars in the club workshop still being finished, isn't that enough!! Pathetic!!~Sololobo~

 

the oustside starter hole bolt is busted so you can't get a starter to work right. I have put it on hold til summer. I am going to buy an running junker chevy pickup and pull the motor and tranny for the 51

 

Wow, this is from 3 years ago and I have yet to drive it on the street.

This weekend's excuse du jour...

I've been getting soft on enforcing the "I help you work on your computer/car/house for an hour, you come and help me in the barn for an hour" rule...

Until recently this rule has kept me from having to work on peoples' computers/cars/house for about 2 years...

Strict enforcement begins today!!!

I have to wire up the taillights and a fe little things and I should be driving it by the end of the week.

 

zombie thread returns from the dead , , lmao

 

three in progress..............

 

Building a house, making babies, earning money, organizing club meetings... Projects get pushed into the future.

 

I used to always say money, then I sold a car and had money...

uh, then it was time.

but then I got laid off...

fuck if I know?

gotta get back on it soon though.
I have way too much money in that thing
to watch it collect dust.

 

I'm sorry! I will try harder

 

mine isnt done mainly cuz I NEED A F*CKING WELDER

any for sale cheap?

 

In a word... (or a song...)

Cheers, Glen.

 

I haven/t been able to work on the modified, as I moved with my job, retired, and spent the last year building a garage and house. Built the garage first! Now I am broke,, but have some time, still trying to finish up trim work and landscaping, but I manage to sneak out to the shop 2 to 3 times a week. I want to have it done by this summer.

 

Change of plans again.
