Default considering giving up

im considering giving up restoring my s2,ive owned it for a few years now and prob started restoring it 4 /5 months ago,but now its becoming tiresome.ive worked hard the past 2 days on it and hardly got a thing done! Its taking so long todo!

I wanna see it through cus of all the nice stuff ive got to rebuild it with

Just dont know what todo! So i thought if people showed me some pics of their mint RS's it will give me some more determination!

It's not mint, but it's good enough

Looks ok from my house

At the end of the day, theres 2 possible ways to have a MINT RS:

1) When you don't drive the thing and it lives in the garage

2) when you have more money than sense

I fall into neither of those categories........

He has but like he said it should be worth it in the end...feelin a little better bout doin it now,im gettin the hang of the welding and the problem was the drivers side rear floor panel it had gone right in the corner and was a cunt to weld cus basicaly the metal had become so thin after cleaning the rust off so ive decided to replace it and it would make the job 10 times easier and look 10 times better than some fukin plate welded in but it does seem like il never finish it!
