This is how fI often feel while restoring my 57 bug. but what I do like other people have said while I am doing bigger things(i.e. rebuilding the engine), I take on smaller projects on the same car(i.e. striping/ primering the dash) this helps me feel like i have acomplished something also I just some times sit in it daydreaming of when it is done, crusing around town in the summer, turning peoples heads. as for being a money pit, I am an 18 year old working at mcdonalds and this takes a big part of my income but I do it becouse i love vws. hope this helps, "Drako" 71 squareback 57 bug 66 bug (hopefully soon to come, mexican military issue 1970 thing) > = > > Okay, now that Fall is here in the "Pacific Northwet" it is > getting harder to motivate myself to go out and work on my '63 > Squareback. > I need to come up with some good responses to give my > husband when he= > expresses concern that my car is becoming a "money pit" and even > if I do get it running again it will still be 34 years old. > > Now don't get me wrong--he has been helping my with the > project and spent last weekend under the car unbolting and > removing the trashed pans while 34 year old crud and spider egg > sacs fell on him.
