Say Wha!!
I understand, you just need a little fire under that @$$. I'm dragging my feet these days, and the hot summer days don't help. I prefer colder weather.
I still don't have my engine fired. And crazy as it sounds, I'm more excited about the wiring than I am finishing the body, although I have been doing a lot of work on Tim's car for the past few months.
Kinda hard to keep my fire going when I get burned out on someone else's car.
Unless you're just going to give it up. Go to some shows, get some friends over. Sometimes working alone can make you drag too. Spend a couple of hours a week on it. Get it running again, that'll help to get the drive going. Drive it around the block a few times. Your car really inspired me.
But, in the end. It's your choice. Which would you be more happy with in the end; A 1970 bug with a suby, or another vw that you bought?
