Why oh why

[elmof1]

Now some of the projects on this forum are amazing; but does
Anyone else think at times " why did I start this project"?

I'm having one of these moments tonight; staring at a bare shell thinking, I really want to drive my r5:rolleyes:

totally know how you feel, the projects the members are doing really make me crave for another 5, but then i think of the money required to have a project and i feel all good again having sold up

but why do i keep looking on ebay for a gtt from time to time :(

But when you get that engine firing up for the first time, or you start sorting out all the smaller things and the end is in sight it just makes it all worthwhile, apart from need to rush to finish the last bits to get it ready by ND. Completing things for MOT and not for looks at the moment or working items, stupid electrics :(

I felt the same way when mine was a bare shell mate and 11 months later of hard work hours and determination I now have my 5 fully road legal and love it to pieces and could not have asked for it to be any better keep going mate it's well worth it :agree:
