wow well my project is never going to start ,, im getting stressed out about it too, My wife wants me to sell it and get a 3rd gen . I like the idea but this is me , I got a rx8 to have a daily rotary and now she likes it and wants me to get the 3rd gen and hook it up I tell her is about the same money or more , she said is better than this junk I have lol what to do what to do.,

It shouldn't be about the money mate. It should be about satisfaction and fulfilment. Does working on your 3 bring you enjoyment? Is it pleasure? Do you feel accomplishment when some part of your project is finished and you move on to the next steps?

These feelings and experiences cannot be replaced with a Supra or 3rd gen.

man your so right about that but I haven't worked on it but take it apart and it feels good , I was supposed to take to shop to sand blass bottom of car and engine bay and I cant this month again family issues,, I may have to take a trip to Puerto Rico my gramma not going to last long so this is going to cost me a goo chunk since im talking my family ,, cant complain but it seems something always comes up.. If I could only start the sheet metal work I think Ill be more happy than just keep striping bad parts and not seen result :-(

Well yesterday I decided to scrape a small area of under coating and got hooked , did almost the complete wheel wel area , today I should be able to finish under coating makes any car look like **** and old .


The undercoating looks crappy , can't wait to seal it and prime it . I have to see if I seam seal it first or apoxy it first . Got some investigation to do .

iTrader: (3)

Did more cutting Nd more scrapping .. Tomorrow I will start to fabricate a piece so I can start making some pieces , I can't really start making pieces since they all one big puzzle lol


I think tomorrow I will start making this piece before I loose where panels go lol

I was about to ask when you were gonna stop cutting and start fabbing...lol. You could lose your way quickly when cutting out so much metal. Its looking good.
