I reserve Saturdays for myself so that's the day most of the work will get done plus an hour here and there, it soon gets done. I don't get bored half way through but other work does sometimes hold a project back for a while. I never work Sundays, would if I could get away with it

On the list to still aquire:

Fog lamp grilles
Side mouldings
Bumper inserts
Front lights
Inner door cards (mine have speaker holes )
Parcel shelf supports
Parcel shelf (maybe use the acoustic shelf I already have)
Wheels (not sure what to go for)
