pfft

knock that shit over in a day!

[crack]

lists are good. may demotivate now but once you start crossing stuff off it will have the opposite effect (make sure you cross the item off instead of deleting it).

that list is fucked but. not many 'quick wins' in it.

[myliberty]

with a list like that, I might just beat you.

and I haven't got a project yet.

I reckon three weeks fulltime I could have it knocked off, too bad I have to work

There is actually quite a bit on there that could be knocked off in an hour per job. Can't wait to have the car back at home and be able to start doing those jobs mid week

I knew I had to do all the stuff so the list doesn't really change anything for me. I think I needed to do the list just to make sure I had no chance of getting it done for the shootouts on the 12th. There is one at WSID in May that I will seriously think about going to. I need to race 2rismo :p

Engine bay will be repainted this weekend, engine in the following weekend. Its been awesome being able to have it in Paul's shed but I really now need to get it home to start knocking off all those little jobs

That's a shitload of hours right there... You need to import a container load of Japanese people if you want to get that done anytime soon.
