no go. not gonna be here friday. I will definitely get in touch with you though. Like I said, I WANT to work on my car, just dont feel like being out in the cold and rushing to finish the job so that I have something to drive.

i hear u dan. youve seen my 'work place' ... i cant even literally call it my driveway lol

theres been times when i have my 240 all apart, motor sitting next to the car, and im like WTF because theres an orange abandoned sticker on the window and i only have so many days to get it running again. talk about wanting to quit sometimes.

i think if i had a nice 2 car garage to play around in, things would be a lot different. if i was smart, i would stop playing with cars for a while, and save up for my 1st house (with a garage, lulz) gotta break a few eggs to make an omlett

and dan. fixing the harness damage shouldnt be too hard. just basically matching wires up and soldering back together. a harness got ate through by a pulley in the s12 a couple months ago and it wasnt so bad. i could try to help u with that. moving it into the bay is definatly another story though.

id be down to help tho. ill bring my solder gun LOL

yea putting it in the engine bay requires cutting the whole harness in half, removing the fender, putting it in the engine bay, matching/soldering all the wires, reinstalling the fender, blahhh blahhh blahhh lol. A garage...would be heaven.

owning a turbo civic that i constantly took care of I got sick of modding.
the evo has been sitting for 2 weeks cuz i don't feel like changing oil/trans case/tranny fluid

When it's cold out, I don't even want to wash the thing or change the oil.

But I do.

Working on cars in the winter, out in the cold... blows.

Sometimes I get sick of doing car things when I am trying to help certain people. One of my buddies likes to ask me to help him with a project, and 9/10 times, its usually me alone doing all the work, then hearing him later taking all the credit. Its pretty damn annoying, since I know I have more wrench time in his car then he does.

Another one of my buddies that I normally help is really cool about it, and he does most of the work, I just help out when its a 2-man job.

When I am working on a car by myself, I just get REALLY bored, and really don't want to get anything done.

I guess for me, it really depends on who I am working with to get things done
