mk1super Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 It seems i have lost my moativation with the car, start of the year i was all dead set get pinto in re sprayed interior sorted out, and its ground to a halt mainly due to costs. And it just seems alot of places are out to fleece you Am i the only one? I got up today and thought TODAY! I will strip down them 2.8 struts i got as far as drowning em with WD40 then thought yer al have a Coffee while it gets to work, went back to it and nope none of the nuts were shiffting so i gave up I think a need a kick up the arse.
Trevmk3 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 im the same mate, i think as soon as more meets start happening and you see all the cars out and about it will give you that boost to get something done
Retro-gone. Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 we all get that way from time to time and anyone who says they dont are lying, in the 12 years ive owned the capri ive nearly sold it 10 times thro lack of interest. ive just dug my 2 suzukis out of hibernation to prep them for summer but can i be bothered? can i fook
2.8i Cossie Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 i had planned to clean mine today cos i have a show coming up 11th april.....i ended up sanding paint down in the house cos i couldnt be bothered Definately clean it on sunday....
DanV Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 ive been like that for a couple of months but now ive started collecting bits together, the car is almost ready for the bodyshop and the nice weather is coming, ive really been getting back into it. You'll get your kick up the arse, whether its seeing a nice escort somewhere, seeing yours when its clean in the sunshine or simply doing a job on it that goes right. You need that job satisfaction back so get stripping those billies mate
antz Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 My escort has spent 5 mnths sat in the garage due to no enthusiasm. Then I got up and thought FOOK IT and dragged it out
5hane Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 i need to keep a slow, but steady, line of new bits coming in otherwise i will find othing things to do once its rolled over (on the jig) ill have the, what ive been told, lovely job of striping all the underseal off of the floorplans. mainly at the moment i am concuting plans for the engine, and working out how its going to work and bolt together. At the moment im planning idears for the induction, watch this space
mk1super Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Posted March 17, 2009 Its like everytime i look at the car something else needs doing am scared to go near it
Copey Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Its like everytime i look at the car something else needs doing am scared to go near it its the way with old cars, stick with it and learn as you go
Superblue76 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 It's the joys of old skool motoring mate, even concours cars need constant attention....... .... and remember the moto F.O.R.D (Fix Or Repair Daily)
shakey n his fezz Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 i was like that with my old mk1 needed serious work done i just couldnt be botherd
Durham Fiesta Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 i'm wanting to get my car sorted but nothing ever seems to go right and its always the most hard to find parts that break
Yeomans22 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 i blew my escort up last july, it been in the garage pretty much ever since, pushed it onto the drive a couple of times. the problem i've got is when ur modern cars breaks just take it to the garage, but when its ur osf, u don't want anyone working on it but urself, but if aint got the money the time or im my case the skills, you get no where with it, keep plugging away at it and u'll start getting somwhere with it.
caprinerd Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 as rg says everyone gets like that and if they say they dont then they are telling porkies
lead foot Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 been a bit lazy myself !! but got stuck in and its nearly done now, so get on with it !
mk1super Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Posted March 18, 2009 been a bit lazy myself !! but got stuck in and its nearly done now, so get on with it ! Its where to start! Paints got micro blisters Rear spring drivers side is fooked Rear rim drivers side i thinks knackered as new tire and tube and still its going flat Have a pinto to fit but first must get the rest of the parts first! A heater to strip and rebuild fed up of misting windows also have to fit carpet and get some decent seats All on a budget tighter than a ducks chuff add to that iam a clueless moron and you can see its like pushin custard up a hill
