I've got a Fiesta project on the go atm, however I seem to be taking one step forward, two steps back I get one job sorted then upon moving onto the next I find a dodgy repair or bodge by the previous owner that means one job turns into several . I had to really stop myself from taking a sledgehammer to it today. How do you guys keep yourselves motivated on your projects???

 

Little and often is the key.

 

Exactly what I've been doing but its not working

 

same here

 

Snap, yeh little and often seams to work for me

 

In the same boat fella, take a week or two off and then go back to it

 

I kept looking on forums for inspiration, eventually deciding my Orions fate:-

Before

1400 equipe



After

2 litre zetec turbo equipe



Anybody can do it... It's not hard work really...
It's a great feeling once there done, but being a Ford there never completely done are they...

 

I had various falling outs with mine, just take a step back.

I can't be arsed with mine at the minute, needs a gearbox but I can't be bothered swapping the box even though the replacement is sliding around the boot of my daily car.

 

I've done plenty of projects and granted I have had many ups and downs but I always get them finished.

Like my old Subaru from this:





This car really seems to be fighting me and I'm only at the bodywork stage.....
I very nearly lost it today and had to walk away. I really can't be arsed going back to it, period

 

I really liked your scoob, was thinking of buying when you had it for sale on here, ended up getting the wife a focus st.

 

I know how you feel. I am soooo close to getting my Saph back on the road but each niggle keeps tempting me to chuck a gallon of fuel and a match at it!! Just need to keep at it and once it's done you can look at it with pride and enjoy it

 

That scoob looks great.

 

I don't think it'd be so bad if I was nearing the end, I'm not even a 1/4 of the way into it yet

 

Got to start somewhere though, we have all been a 1/4 into it at some point lol. As folk have said, take a couple days away from it and go back with a fresh head, stick at it and it'll be worth it in the end

 

i know exactly what you mean, im having problems with my fiesta project, again seems like 1 step forward and 2 back,

 

enthusiasm will come back.we all have moments.now show season is over im like meh ill do it when I can be bothered,got plenty of time lol.got a list of things I need to do to orion but need kick up backside at mo lol

 

What makes me tick is looking back at previous and ongoing projects.Always seems to kick me into gear. Finding time is hard mind
