So since it was really nice out a few weeks ago I had a ton of motivation to finish my car. This cold weather however is just a kick in the junk. It blows.

I hate working on my car in the cold. I think im gonna order a few parts and just let them sit in my garage until i get motivated again.

Anyone else feel the same way?

touche.

but remember this. ive been working on the car for like a few years now. Ive actually never even driven it, so it doesnt really bother me that much. What im more worried about it stopping all the spending that goes into it.

i have a heater that works fairly well, but the tank tends to get really cold and the regulator ends up freezing.

KEROSENE. IT WILL HEAT UP YOUR GARAGE IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES. IT RULES.

i went and worked on my car every free chance had during the winter. First I was working outside, then I moved my car to an unheated garage. My motivation was getting my motor in and running. Now that the motor is in and running, i just don’t have the motivation to go work on it in the cold anymore. I still have a few things left to do before I can have some fun with it.
