Just look at the big picture, and think how good it will look once done not to mention the personal satisfaction. The best way to get it done as fast as you can is to spend every spare minute on it and ALOT of late nights until its done, well thats what i did. GOOD LUCK

feeling overwhelmed by the whole project?

let it lie.

you'll just get to the point where u want it done, and ull be back into.

forcing yourself to do it when not motivated leads to cut corners and an end result you know could be better.

 

well...it can always be better, but u know what i mean...

 

 

cheers, andrew

ok well i have been so completely slack.... i have done all this work.... to get it in epoxy primer and now it just sits in my shed.... i have done some bogging but still have soooo much more to go befor i am even close.... i swear i wipe on bog then i sand it.... then i have sanded the bog to low so i gotta put on more.... wait for that to dry.... then sand that,.... still to low.... put more on wait for it to dry.... so its really disheartening and i really need motivation.. and its so much easier just to go work on my hilux and tidy that up a bit each day..... what do u all do to get your cars done so fast..... and how do u keep motivated? i really want to be at painting stage but never find the time nor motivation to complete it..... so I'm hoping that me writing this willl make me pull my finger out and actually get something done....

i know exactly how u feel, ive had my car for over 12months coming up 18months and its not painted yet lol, its pretty annoying i just get to a stage where I'm like "i really can't be f@$ked anymore"

 

but i make sure whenever i get the tiniest bit of motivation i take it! haha

 

keep it up man would love to see this car finished!

holy crap its been 2 years since ive been on rollaclub.

 

well a lil update.. in the past 2 years... i have pushed the ke10 into the container and havent touched it since... but on a better note i have since learnt how to weld and panelbeat properly.

 

the reason for the ke10 being shoved in the container is i ended up with a hilux for my first driving car... which i slammed, shaved and painted it

 

then when i havent been working on that i have been building a 1956 vw beetle with fully adjustable suspension.

i have built all the adjustable suspension and am onto fixing the rust which there is ALOT of... i am replacing the hole bottom 8inches of the car :) but I'm really enjoying it

 

anyway this is an idea of what i want it to look like...

 

 

anyway enough of the past few years...

 

my love for early rollas is still there and strong but my motivation isnt atm... once i have finished the beetle... (hopefully sometime this year) i plan on gettin the ke10 out of the container... cutting out all the dodgey repairs i did on it when i was 15 and fixing it all again to a better standard.

 

will be back when i get onto it :)
