Sanchez Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Well my car has been off the road now for over a year, and in that year i have spent a small fortune in buying parts for a big powered build...It has crossed my mind a few times to break the car and move on, but both times had found abit of inspiration from the forums and my mates, and decided to crack on with it.But summer is nearly here, im sick and tierd of not having my own car and there is still more money to be spent to get her the way i wanted, not to mention how much more time till its completed??I just dont know what to do, it will pain me to break as i have come so far, but i feel i am loosing interest?I know when/if she gets road worthy again i will love it, but for how long?Went out in my mates silvia the other day, and i think i want a 200 now.What you guys think?

Glanza_cl Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 i totally know the feeling man... i put so much money into my V it just felt like pouring money down the drain. you put soo much in but it still just needs more!you get to the point where your like wtf! this is silly... but spending all that and not even getting the chance to enjoy what you created will be killer, you will always have that 'what if' feeling. what if i finished it, how would it feel? what if i had just stuck it out? what would i have now?I say finish what you started, there is always light at the end of the tunnel and it will be awesome... then once you have enjoyed it and appreciated what you created move onto something new money is replenishable *spelling*, but not finishing something you put so much in will always leave a hole.

Sanchez Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 lol at the banGlanza cl, i know what your saying mate, but i will loose a fair chunk of money, if all my new parts become used you see.I worked out how much i could get for parts and its alot of money, i could buy a ps13 with half and save the other half, i cant lodge forever, a house is going to be needed at some point in the next 5 years i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 well you seem to have made a decition... i cant talk i pussied out and bought an mr2 rwd is mighty fun, fuel will be your biggest expenditure by far.good luck with whatever you do mate, i do know what you mean about the money and putting alot into these can be hard as the return isnt great.
