It helps me drink less
Seriously, after I had to quit diving, I needed something to occupy my time, otherwise I would have been in the pub all the time.
It's sweet now, get home, do a couple of hours, have something to eat, couple of hours more, back in the house at 10pm, check up on the forums, have a couple of beers.
The actual motivation can be hard at times, and now is a bit lacking at times because I am painting, and the stuff needs to dry overnight before I can overcoat it. Because it is cold, I use a touch more thinners, and let it sit 24 hours.
This leaves big gaps of time where the garage is unusable
Still, am very much looking forward to getting it painted, because then I can actually assemble the rolling chassis.
It's a major milestone, that will inspire me to get the bodywork underway.
