Don't lose your will, and trust me, somedays it can take more than one thinks they have, but it is there if you look deep enough. Take a break for a few days and catch up on the other things you have been putting off, because all the effort has been going into the 7. I had many little set backs and do overs. Little **** like: the front bumper took me 2 weeks, and I'm still not happy with it and once I got the engine running, I fought fuel issues for 2 weeks, and on and on. The fun part is, this winter it goes back in the shop for Phase 3, and that will be a major headache.
Sat nite I took the car to a club meet in a nearby town. Street rods and restorations from the 40's on. There were only 2 imports, my buddies S4 TII and mine. The only other one that was close was a late model Neon with a bunch of mods. I was very suprised, and pleased with all of the positive feedback I recieved on the car. Funny thing is, nobody recognises it as a 7. Even though the TII and I were parked side by side with the hoods open.
Keep with it, even if it is just a little at a time and look at some of the others out on the forums that are done.
I'm not sure how much wider it is, but the mirrors are nearly worthless when trying to park close to a curb and not scrape the rims.
If you need more incentive, I have probably 200 some pics taken during the process. I need to burn off some cd's of them. The task can seem daunting, the trick is to break the whole down into smaller, more manageable parts.
If you need and engine, I may be up for building another one. You will need to supply the parts and decide what you want for ports. Labor will be nominal.
Now, get off the computer and get some work done,
