Just read the full thread be a shame not to see it finished you have had it for so long can you not just shut the door on it till you get re motivated if your sick of it at the mo? You must have a lot tied up in it money wise and time it would be a shame to break and something you may regret

Read through your thread a few times ( old and new) everyone is looking forward to seeing it finished, just think how M K ( with his fiesta) and Dave Rowe ( space frame audi s1) felt.....now look at the end results ( M K's fiesta isnt finished yet but can see the end in sight). Take some time away from it then start on something small to do with the car and before you know it you'll be back getting it running and finishing it. I'm sure there are people your way that would help out even if its to make a cuppa or pass a can of stella or two
