Pick an event you are going to have you car at. Then tell everyone you are going to be at that event with your car. Then plan out backwards how you are going to get it done by then and Do It!. Kinda like this.... I will have my 388 swing axle and new engine in my fasty and running by the end of may so I can drive it to The Classic!  There! Now I Have to get it done! that how I do most of MY projects done or else I would always be doing other guys projects.

Forget what these guys are talkin' about! :P

What you need to do is go down to Surrey central skytrain station and pick yourself up a dime-bag 'o crack. A couple of hoots off dat sheet will make you wanna run a freakin' marathon. But you gotta be quick 'cuz you don't want your heart to explode before you get the job done! ^_^

I've heard this guy get's the best stuff




That's about as good advice as I can give.

what works for me is a hand full of fatties..a case of stella and some loud ass ACDC...have a few smokes..and a few beers while scratching your head walking laps around the car...then go at it..
you will only get about 45 mins of actual work done in a 6hour stint..once the smoke and the beer takes over..start doing the easy stuff..like hammer work..ya know..fitting the dizzy...setting the deck hight..putting on crank pullys. (just dont miss the swing and smoke the case!!)..dont let your friends start drilling any holes untill they have explained it to your drunk ass first

I am going to let you all in on the biggest secret for motivation




1 Shoot your mouth off, smack talk a bunch of people

2 Go to the track and blow by some \"big\" engine cars

3 Get above said people's panties in a bunch

4 Rebuild over winter, and do it all over again :)

You buy a ticket to Bug-in 32, watch cars like the Berg black 67 rip off 11 second passes while pulling the biggest wheelies you've ever seen... Or a Fiat running low 10's or enjoy the company of guys like this...

Or eat at places like this...

thanks,i haven't looked through that whole post in a while.now i'm pumped all of a sudden my to-do list's don't look so bad .trust me if anyone know's how easy it is to burn out and loose motivation on a project it's me. since i work in the auto buisness [sure danny can relate ] the last thing i really want to do is work on cars but,i took a long break from vw's as a hobbie and now with the added stress's of work and family the time i spend in my garage is priceless.i think the key to self motivation is being able to visualize the end result and keep moving toward it no matter what.
or danny just pretend your the little engine that could and repeat.
i think i can,i think i can, i think i can.!!!
