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....  AndyH

Watching a couple of videos on youtube of seven style cars might help motivate you!
if you are feeling the cold just work harder  i venture out with loads of layers on and then have to slowly take them all off, especially if hacksawing or filing something down to size!

I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning on the way to work grey dingy sky; cold not condusive to going out in the garage. But I just have to think about the time I spent a day driving a caterham around for the today in glorious sunshine. That and the fact I know once I go out to the garage I enjoy working on the car its just that initial push to get out there.

i use a punch bag...
1st - it warms you up (working keeps you warm)  2nd - it de-stresses you so you're nice and calm (and dont get so angy with things that are being difficult)  3rd - its fun to hit somthing that cant hit back as for the motivation part just think your building a car from nothing... really how many people can say they'v done that?

I stopped work on my chassis late August to strip the donor, which took a week or so. My motivation to get going again was visiting AdrianH to see his roadster. This week I'm back on the chassis, should soon be finished.

Motivation is just the need to get something done.. break it down into targets and its easy... when I got mine running I booked a track day, that got me going to get it ready for that... then SVA, that got me going again.. Make a list.. and target it!
Now I'm converting to EFi and while I wait for the megasquirt I thought I'll lift the engine out and cure the oil leak, tidy it up a bit and paint the block. So Monday lifted the engine out and went indoors... Tuesday morning the squirt arrives and now I'm dying to get on with it thats why I've just come in from painting the block!
