Car is coming along so well. Love how the engine looks in the bay.

Yeah, man. I basically go through a few stages that can be summed up by "Liar Liar."
This is absolutely hilarious, but I deal with enough of that at work, doing it in my free time.....I just can't do it. Hence my at this seriously work. I'm honestly more impressed by the engineering than the car, and the car is pretty fucking bad ass.Huckleberry wrote: ↑Fri Jun 04, 2021 6:28 pmYeah, man.

My initial reaction when it doesn't jive:
My realizing how much is going to need to be undone because there is no easy solution:
My wanting to unload my frustrations on the project, but realizing how much I have already invested:
My regrouping and discovering a solution:
And finally, my looking at the final product:

If you had a garage/shop it could live in for months without being in your way it might be different. That's what I would need before taking on a cool project.D Griff wrote:Desertbreh wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 12:34 pm This is absolutely hilarious, but I deal with enough of that at work, doing it in my free time.....I just can't do it.

I seriously admire guys who do builds like this, the E30, etc. I love seeing these projects, they are so awesome, but I just can't. I'm over here offing a perfectly good C5 because I don't want to deal with clutch, diff, and harmonic balancer woes.

The garage space definitely helps, and also enables vehicle accumulation. Before I bought this house, I had only my GTO as a toy. Now, the 944 is my 5th build and the 3rd toy in the stable.troyguitar wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 10:53 amIf you had a garage/shop it could live in for months without being in your way it might be different.

It's understandable. It does take money and time, and if you'd rather devote those resources to something else, then there isn't a reason to keep the car around. Plus, repairs aren't ever as fun as upgrades.D Griff wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 9:01 amDesertbreh wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 12:34 pm

I bought an 89 Camaro back in 2009/2010 that quickly developed fueling issues after I got it home. The tank's filler neck cracked, and then after replacing the tank, a fuel line ruptured, and then the throttle body started acting dumb. Basically, the car just kept developing these little issues and it got to the point where I just tired of it and offloaded it to the land of Craigslist. There was a period in time where I kind of missed it because it was a 5 speed car with a hardtop and roll-down windows, and it had me briefly considering 3rd Gens for the 302, to the point where I went out and looked at one. However, after getting in the car, I said, "Oh right, this is a 3rd Gen," got back out, and crossed it off the list.
