Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

The car has been parked in my front garden for a good few months (had a couple of skips on the drive). I've moved it back onto the drive to work on, and I opened the bonnet last night just to check everything was fine. There was a shitload of spiders!
Car is now for sale

Jokes, its now full of WD40.

I've ran my water pump backwards for 4 years on track

No issues yet and I have a habit of doing stupidly long stints like a r****d

Its probably your post I've read!

What's the best way of gathering motivation on a stalled project? I've tried a to-do list...
I'm very much of the mind that I only like to start a job when I know I can complete it. And the list has got so long I just feel overfaced.
I tried breaking down the list into manageable chunks but still find myself deciding not to start.
Do I just make a start, any start?

Just make a start, hour or so at a time if spare time is a premium. Do a job at a time and dont start multiple areas leaving loads in bits. You will get there eventually

Go through the list, pick the easiest job you can find, even if it's a two minute job. If that goes well, it usually motivates me to do something else while I'm there.

I find it's really hard to get the motivation to do car stuff when winter comes around, but once you get going it gets easier.

Straight into the job that puts you off the most, ear pods in and away you go

Good tips! I need to stop being a mard arse as well.

If it lives outside make the first job cleaning it, then buy some parts and/or tools, that's the best motivation
