Actually Ive had the car almost 3 years and drove it less than 6 combined months.
Some of it is a money issue, some of it is me being lazy, some is telling the guy working on to take his time and telling him to finish some other projects first and some of it is me not caring.
Ive been down the friends helping out path before. I got fucked. Like when my good friend was going to do all the bodywork and paint for $600 and I bought $900 worth of materials and supplies and he did about a day’s work on it in two weeks, got a job working somewhere else and bailed on me. His dad said he’d finish it and after me taking it apart and putting it together, him doing a shitty job and me putting it back together he still charged me $2600 (plus the $900 in materials and a spray gun and a hammer and dolly set) and its already rusting, the paint has dry spots and runs in it too. That ordeal took 6 months.
