Need some inspiration.

Have you ever been hopelessly stuck, to the point of feeling like you would rather lick your tires than crawl under the car and do what needs to be done? I'm there. Overwhelmed, frustrated, to say the least. What do you guys do when you have this feeling? All I have to do is get under the car and pull the master cylinder, but for some reason it's easier said than done. Probably because I've never done it before. Am I just making this harder than it has to be? Anyway, all that's keeping the car off the road is an exhaust manifold and brake job. How do you all combat this roadblock problem?

 

Simple, you gotta want to drive it!

 

Yeah just think of how much fun your going to have driving it, its not that bad to pull the master cylinder, the manifold maybe a little harder depending on the rust on the bolts. When I hit the road block I just go through my old collection of mags, and books.

 

look through some mags, go to a show...wait til you see somethin cruise by, that always does it for me

 

Everyone gets it , you just have to make yourself do it! The payoff is alot greater than the greif!!!!!

 

put in your faforite tunes, have a beverage, crawl under there and get it done ! works for me

 

Set aside one hour each day and work on it. First hour, jack up car, place extra tires underneath for safety, etc. Second day (hour) go underneath and spray bolts and nuts with chemicals, evaluate what tools are needed, etc. It might take a whole week to do the m/c but in the end it will get done.

 

Just do it! Think of it like it is the car you drive back, and forth to work, if it’s not running you don’t work, don’t get paid! Go do it!

 

Thanks everyone. I've been thinking, and I've worked myself up enough that I'm going to go make it my bitch. NOW.

 

Now go show that car whose boss!!!!!!!!!

 

Use jackstands so it dont fall on your head. Chock it too. Just trying to help.

 

For me its like that scene in Hollywood Nights where Newbomb and Fran Drescher are making out in the pie wagon and she climbs in the back and tells him to come on....he just throws up his hand and tells her he cant do it cuz "his moods not right".....lol

It wont get done on by itself but seriously though sometimes stepping away for a little bit is the best "mood builder".

 

Don't worry about the burn out...Take a couple days to yourself, then do it right, mucho beverage y tunes and hell...just think of all the demons that will present themselves once you get a couple hundred good miles on her....DAMN!

 

This is good. Also, sometimes I find myself dreading to start something because I am just tired of one challenge after another. It always ends up easier than I thought once I get into it. If you do find yourself stuck, stop for a day or so because you very well may be getting on the wrong path. If that is your car on your avatar, it will be a cool ride.
