bigglesmk2 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Look's like you done a good job so far ,me likey Back suspension look's pretty much sorted,im thinking start on front suspension
Toby Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Bit too good to scrap I think!! Aim to do one hour a day!! They look so daunting when there's so much to do, but anyone can muster the enthusiasm for an hour. Then you find yourself enjoying it and "hey presto" hours turn into days and you're CRUISING!! YOU CAN DO IT!!
Muttley MK2 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Is that a Marina Van in the background? I had one fitted with a MG Maestro turbo lump, it was brutal (when it was running) I think if I was you i would finish the 105e so I can buy the Marina off you

60ftman Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Keep a diary - don't laugh! Through all of my projects I've kept a diary. I write down everything I've done when I've done it, and everything I've bought. It's amazing how much of a kick in the pants it is when you look at a blank week. Makes you either do something or buy something. It also records exactly how much you spend - and believe me, when you start to add up all those "bought nuts & bolts - £3.50"'s it's scary! Danglebox looks great though. (I miss my old danglebox).
escort21 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Just do anything on it, i left my project tina for a couple of months and got depressed about not getting anything done, two days work and its nearly there...its worth it
MK2Ed Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Agree with the above (do a bit at a time, etc). Also you could set a timescale and keep yourself to it by setting a reward at the end, any reward, e.g. slap up meal with the missus, mad drink out with the boys, a particular car show, whatever...
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 There is a line from a record that I shall now quote.... "Don't Just Stand There... BUST A MOVE" Nice work so far mate, get out there. As Toby said, aim for at least an hour a day, then you might find that you get carried away and not realise just how long you spend on it.
DoireMan Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 That bodywork looks class. All looking very good lad, just stick at it, and show some people up at the next show.
