i don't know whats gone wrong but i can't stand to look at my bay at the moment , its annoying the hell out of me , i went do the brakes and found i had a stretched brake cable , no big deal and i should just order one and get it done . While i was inspecting her something snapped in my head and i have hardly touched her since , i noticed she needs new ball joint gaiters , a back plate for the o/s brake ( which i have ) , a repair to the horn , brake lights and rear cv joint , i need to finish tickling her up with paint and stick her in for he mot , i have had the engine running and it seems to run well no smoke and plenty of throttle reverb but i have'nt tried it in ernest -- All the welding is done , the interior is back in , the beam has been repaired , i have renewed all the brake pipes , the calipers are new and she is looking pretty good , But --- i won't even go in the garage at the mo , i am beginning to wonder if i will ever find the enthusiasm for the final push , or am i just tired and do we all get like this , its worrying . i know i'm whingin but how else can i find the get up and go to get up and do ???
think of how far you have come - dont look at the next few tasks as one big 'i have to do this ' - just tackle one at a time and dont set any deadlines to yourself. you can do it!
Owning a Bay wasn't meant to be easy. You know that. You'll always have problems. You know that. We all have one problem or another with our Bays. You know that. When one thing's fixed, another will require attention. You know that. Spring'll be on it's way before you know it. Don't slack now. You'll regret it. Personally, it seems like an eternity before my bus will be ready. But a little bit here and a little bit there and I know that, surely, soon she'll all come together. I just keep telling myself: My dream bus WILL be finished by March. By stopping now you're going to achieve absolutely nothing. Nothing! Keep pushing on my friend. It ain't gonna fix itself now is it? You knowz it!
If the interior is back in,,bring some good booze, wife/girlfriend, nice music and figure out what way is the best in a bay ))
just write a list and pin it up in the garage. cross off one job at a time. before you know it, 10 jobs left will be 2 and when you can see the end in sight that will be all the encouragement you need keep at it!
