inspiration needed
hi, ive got a 95% complete car.
its been in that state for 2 years now, i just cant finish it.
please someone hit me round the head, i really want it finished but i cant get round to it.
its got a honda blackbird engine in, its only going to be used for the track.
im setting myself a deadline of january 17th at santa pod where i want to set a time in it.
is anyone else in this unfortunate state?

Seriously how hard can it be? There are people on the road with cars less than 95% finished 
Unless the 5% is the engine get it down the "pod"

What do you still need to do? Write a list and then cross them off as you do them. Post it here so we can see your progress and cajole you if you
slack off

Get a ride out with somebody for an hour, that should give you the kick up the arse to finish yours...sure somebody on here will live near enough to
take you for a spin.

If im honest also, not finishing the car is stopping me starting a new project(i do at least know not to start another till its finished)
Is it common to fall at the final hurdle?

Get somebody round to help you finish. You might not feel like doing it all by yourself, but it's harder to say no when there is somebody who
has given their time to give you a hand. I have been in that boat so many times (wiring has taken me almost a full year), and even now, most of my
gauges don't work, and I am going ahead anyways. I'm 2 3/4 years into mine.
