Default Can't Stop Itis
I've got a big problem. Bought a basket case midyear and told myself that once I got it together that was it. Then just leather interior, then just a BB hood, then AC, then polish compressor, then PB, new springs, then Teak wheel, then 5-speed, then Bilstiens, then better radio.
Now TRW spring, new N11. Thinking about heads and cam.
I need help. I can't stop. I'm worried that when I run out of things to work on I will sell it and start all over again.
BIG PROBLEM

Even when it's finished..... it's never finished, but the really expensive parts are purchased, installed and over with. With winter approaching and the car "finished", I decided this would be a good time to color sand and buff ( done ), install a floor mount lokar parking brake (done ), remove and repaint the oil pan where I skinned it ( painted but needs to be installed) and lets see.....I still need to rebuff all Billet aluminum motor parts, touch up a few suspension parts and glaze and detail the car several times before spring. So...you're never really finished but it's much more enjoyable when it is.

I forgot to mention LED lights, daytime running lights, powder coating suspension parts and paint touch up.

Oh yeah! I LOVE IT
