Ok guys

Im finding it dificult to motivate myself to go out to the cold garage after work when its already dark..

So what motivates you to get yourself out there on the cold winter nights??

For me its seeing other users progress (AshG for instance). Reading magazines makes me enthusiastic to work on my build. Also buying stuff makes me super motivated to go and fit it.

i,ve found that if i,m not motivated i ask Spud69 to take me for a spin in his Roadster, does the trick every time

tho the motivation is at sky high level now with working on the Roadster every day at Saturn, tho haven,t had a chance to tinker with my own car as we,re busy with customer orders
but its still nice to see my car all day

cheers

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.

Get yourself out in one of these cars, it'll give you all the motivation you need to get cracking. Flynercle came down last Saturday after loosing his motivation, after 30mins in the car he has never stopped on his own build since.

Get yourself a little fan heater in the garage and some thick overalls and you'll soon get done. Just think of what you'll have in 6 months time and it makes it all worth while....
