Wonder if any of it has been engineered ? At $35k ONO it would be a good buy if the work has been approved and the thing is actually capable of being licensed.
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Yeah but Mick all those years in real estate? Then you wouldn't have a soul...

Cars might be hard work, but they are logical and they keep you sane...

Totally agree, although I'd add for my own satisfaction not to impress or brag about to others.

forget about cars for a while,keep them,come back when your ready.
just like a record,you can listen to it and love it ,play it every day,then it gets sat on a shelf for years....
get it off and you are right back where you were when you sat it down..
putting it back on the shelf..

i won't mind driving it when it's done (will actually be pissed because there won't be enough reason to drive it) just the going and working on it i don't have the same feeling for, would love to walk away for a while but then i'll spend the little cash i have left and won't have the funds to finish it at a later date plus you can't trust the govt and they change rules as they fell could be all fine today for rego and tomorrow not so want that out of the way aswell
