Motivation is easy Pete, you have 61292 views from like minded fans who are willing you to complete the ute and I'm sure a similar number for the sedan. I'm sure I speak on behalf of us all when I say it is OK not to be "into it" sometimes, but don't let it get the better of you. And might I add we don't want the car finished for us , we want you to finish the car for you. We will cheer loudly from the side line. By the way it's looking good as usual.
Regards
Wayne b

Well said Wayne. I haven't been near my car for roughly 6 months or so. I always look forward to your progress pictures, Pete. |

Keep your chin up Pete, it would be a shame not to complete them after all the hard work you have put into them. I know how the pressures of work and family can effect the way things go from time to time, but just keep plugging away and you will get it done in the end.
Regards, Jim

Pete, some of us really wish we had as much motivation and can only ever aspire to achieving half as much to the same standard (pick me!).
I reckon setbacks typically hit when all other demands peak. Progress on the ute is a great read, look forward further updates whenever you can.

Dave wasnt happy with the gaps its all over the shop so hes chopping and cutting and bashing to get them right. He cut 8mm off the door re did the lower skin and cleaned up the inner. Neat as now perfect even gaps. We have to cut the hoop off and move down 3mm tho.    |

Funny how it was acceptable 58 years ago and todays standards are so much different.

Are you still talking about cars Pete??? Gaps looks great now, I hope mine come up half as good as that when I'm finished. |

or perhaps what you were using to fill the gap with was too small, NES? |

It was a special 2" gap filler that I was issued with many years ago and I was told it would do the job every time to my satisfaction. ....

I'm envious that Pete had to reduce his by 8mm to do the job... No way I'm taking half of mine off.  |

I find Pete has a lot of tools appropriate to certain jobs where as I'm just a mouthy bloke and gift of the gab has gotten the same reault
