My delaying has always been money - not really any time pressures, I work longish hours, but when I'm not working, I'm a free man !
There was a poll on here sometime ago about how much time you spend working on your car, I can't remember what sort of time I was spending then,
but I'd say it's now easy over 20 hours a week, probably closer to 30. Plus all the time I spend reading, looking for parts and planning,
I dread to think how much time I've taken up building my car. I only hope it will be worth it.

I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in having the beast in someones shop.
Money,Family and the fact that my wife conciders it to be "The other woman" are really the biggest reasons.
God I love'm though!!!!Fletch.

Picked up my steel in October 2003 so going at a reasonable clip, PioneerX hit one of my biggest issues (where the f#$k did I put that). 2 young
boys 5 and 8 more deserving of my time than the Mistress(car) and my wife works every Saturday so most of that day is taken up with my boys. But if
there was a deadline it would not be enjoyable to work on it.
One off design is a major time consumer as well.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Just noticed that Dale, the two extra wheels are a real innovation

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

3 kids (plus other peoples for some reason), full time job, part time job, post-graduate course, over-powering desire to read philosphy texts,
alcohol.
That sums it up I think.

I was building outside, I couldn't do anything between last november and the beginning of february, Cornish sunshine and all that!
Now I have the car at work, the progress is unbelievable, I can work any evening and weekends, what ever the weather
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Also building this car is like pushing custard up hill,its hard but i will get there.

Mine is a scratch design, but that isn't slowing things down. I started this as a relaxation project, I have enough stress in my work, so it
just happens when it can. I try not to think of it as a project that has to be finished, I'm just f$$cking around in the shed really.

work 6 days a week and had a weekend job as a bouncer to pay for the car and bits ,stopped going to the gym for 4 months just to get the bulk of the
build done,from the day i got the kit every thing was put on hold and the build became some what of an addiction,all i did was think about what im
going to do next and how im going to do it and loved every min of it .im now enjoying the nice weather in it woohoo
