If you don’t have the funds to build a project, you should never start it. This thing will be an AutoX beast, can’t wait. ---

Eric is really good at resisting peer pressure to get off his ass and fix the car. I’ve even offered to come over and work on it by myself. ;D ---

At the moment, nothing more can be done as I wait for parts to arrive. ---

Here’s the progress I’ve made: First, I set up my project workspace in the backyard.

Fine. I’ll admit it. I’ve been lazy and busy, so I haven’t accomplished much. Now I have a new job and more free time, so hopefully this project can move along after I grab a new daily driver. In the meanwhile, I’ve been experimenting with some spare body panels… ![http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q84/redroof2/trunkdrilled-bare.jpg](http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q84/redroof2/trunkdrilled-bare.jpg) ---

Nope, it’s actually a spare metal trunk. Looks like fiberglass under the lights. New job has me doing outside sales with Napa in the east greenbush/delmar/glenmont/menands area. Basically i’m visiting shops and businesses and making sure everything’s going smoothly, ordering what they need and keeping them happy. I get to make my own hours, so I have the ability to be done earlier in a day if I can plan for it. 12 hours a day, 5 days a week at the previous job was dragging me down. Mr2 will see more work with the extra free time and I can finally switch out of my daily beater saturn coupe for something a little more practical and comfy.
