supra matt Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi guys after reading a fue posts lately and seeing a few breaking threads there seems to be a few very nice cars locked away in garages taken apart and never put back together? Im one of these people I took mine off the road 4 years ago to paint and redo the engine. but then got really busy and the now ex girlfriend needed time to so its just sat there been touched every now and then [emoji24] Its almost there now and will be back on the road this year as I now have more free time, [emoji3] So lets see how many are long term off the road and why, and lets try to get them all finished [emoji2].

r0cknr0lla Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 In the middle of my build so be a while till mine is back up and running... car's been off the road since June / July last year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 This is one of the main reasons why I haven't started my build yet. Got most of the parts and would be done to a high quality but I know how easy it is to get out of control. You start off with what your after in your mind but along the way (during the build) you start wanting to add stuff, change more etc etc and it going from a 1/2 months job to a never ending job.
