I'd be ahead if the weather was co-operating. Was supposed to shoot my top coat last weekend- it rained. Then it was nice ALL week, did a little more sanding.... all ready to shoot the top coat again this weekend, and it's raining, all weekend. Just wasted a FULL week. I could have had the windows trim and most of the interior back together by now. I might take some time off tuesday to shoot a coat, but work has been busy lately.
I'm definately catching up, though. You were block sanding while I was still stripping paint, since then I've sealed it, put the body panels back on, primed it, and block sanded... Granted I've got more trim to do, windows to put back on, and interior to do- but I'll be back on the road before you get your trim back on at this rate

Yeah weather is changing and rather fast. So I better step my game up and finish. Ah I've wasted weeks and I was going to do something to it this weekend but these girls hit me up so yeah.... I have been blocking for a while but finally I got it done now I need to clean my garage, and paint

. You'll most likely finish before I do. I'm also rebuilding my motor.

In that case, I'll be done first. I figure I'll need a week, maybe two, after I get the paint... to put her together. But I also want to do an engine swap next summer... don't think it's gonna happen

That's for me to know. it's probably not going to happen next year, since I'm trying to buy a house right now.

Evil! Eh you never know, maybe you can try to save money on the side for the swap.

It's not the money I'm worried about, it's the spare time, and place to work. Buying a house means getting out of my fathers garage- which means not having access to his tools, and therefore needing my own.

The welders, compressor, ratches and wrenches alone would take me over a years income to buy.

And I don't care how many tools you have- you always need more, because you never have the perfect tool for the job.

Oh I see yeah it sucks when your schedule is just so busy. He won't let you barrow tools??

That is true, I want more tools but got no money for them, I'm still trying to save up for a tune for my MKII.
