Title: Well I did it...
Post by: 86XR7project on August 31, 2010, 12:35:59 PM
Well guys after 3 years of the car sitting in my shop I went and threw in the towel. I went from seeing a finished product in my mind to loathing it. I didn't have the drive to want to finish it. I thought maybe I could hang in there but I finally decided it was time to move on to something else. I called a guy to come pick it up the other day, I stripped a few things out before sping it that I knew could help some people on here and junked the rest of the car. I know I haven't really been all that active on here or have really helped much of anyone but I thought I'd share...

Thank all of you for bearing with me.

I will eventually get a thread with a parts list up as soon as I get pictures taken.

Well it will have to be in the Ford world since thats where most of my knowledge resides but I'm still thinking. I have a few swap ideas cropped up but I'm not 100% yet.

I know exactly what you mean. OCD, impatience, and and a single income are not good grounds to build a car.

Pretty close to liquidating everything I have as well. :mad:

... I feel you man. I came real close to selling mine a while back, if it hadn't been my only car I prolly would've too.

Well, good luck with whatever else comes your way;)
