Re: I need encouragement!!

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"
