Anybody want to come help me finish this thing? I could use a 'friend' in the garage.

For the last several weeks, I've been having trouble staying focused. I'm about to go through a very sad separation/divorce and have almost no motivation to work on this car right now. I'm just emotionally exhausted.

So...if someone wants to come up for a weekend to play in my garage and help me knock through the list of "to-do's" I'm happy to get you a ticket if I can.

Just throwing it out there...

Doug, sorry to hear this. I will look at my schedule. I am just down in Cincinnati, so only a 4 hour drive. This weekend is out, but I may be able to free one up in the near future.

Aw man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm too far away to be of any real help to you. I'm sure the OH 914 Mafia will be here to help you shortly, Doug. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sorry dude. I'm about to fly off for vacation for a few weeks, or I'd head out.

Take care of YOURSELF first. The car is just a material possession.

Be happy for the future. Have a beer (or something stiffer) and look out for your own interests first. Divorces can be messy and stressful. Listen to you attorney.

Take it a day at a time, and go hammer on the car if you need to get away.

Got a second wind today.

Bench blead the masters, then the clutch and brakes. Not a fun "one man" job, but I got it close and was able to chase leaks. I should be good for now. I can feel the clutch engaging and the brakes pushing.

Now I'm wresteling with the wiring diagram. This is going to be a lot of work, but I think I have a good bit of it sorted. Need a few relays I wasn't planning on. No worries there.

I think I'm going to tackle the tail lights and then start in on the headlight buckets while I ponder the wiring.

That's the trick. If something stumps me I move on to something else and return to it later. Just keep moving forward, always forward.

Looks like the good Dr (or the Evil one anyway) is coming out this week for a few days to assist me with the wiring. That's really the last major piece before I can get it to the engine guy to finish the inter cooler and turbo lines.

I may be driving it in a week after all!

Just make sure the Dr doesn't touch a welder while he's there.
Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing the result when it's done.

Doug as I have said else where I would love to come up, yet I am booked solid for several weeks. I get you got torpedoed, I would be devastated also. As I am sure you have figured out life moves on..... Control what you can control, the only people who really win in this situation is the Lawyers.

It will be july before I get a free day, if your still struggling then I'll gladly lend a hand where I can. BTW, I make a pretty mean brisket, and pork butt. So if you need to feed some guys for the final push an its in July, I can offer my smoker and skills to feed a much more mechanically skilled group, than I am.

Thanks guys. I'm actually feeling better.

Spent 2-3hrs in the garage cleaning and organizing today. Then I got busy on some of the wiring. Started wiring the hydra to distribution blocks. This will make wiring easier.

18 down, 40 to go!

Now that I have a plan for the wiring, it should go a lot quicker. I need to get some more terminal ends though.

Shit, what the hell will be left for me?

Edwin....that was a low blow you fucker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fyou1.gif) Just kidding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have recently purchased a TIG, though. It has yet to arrive. I have been practicing my MIG skills and they aint bad. Spool gun MIG with AL is not great...I hope to do better with TIG. See me when I get down there in Aug for my transmission clinic that may be moved again. Gonna be in Canberra.

All the internal stuff, and the other side of what I'm doing now. I'm just connecting to the ECU. We still have to figure out WHERE the engine connects, and to what. Plus, the internal gauges/starter wires/relays/etc. Plenty of work. Don't worry. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

DrEvil will be at my house this Wed/Thurs. Come up after work and play with us. Should be a good time.
