    The 2000 Volkswagen golf TDI that’s been sitting in pieces behind my dad’s shop for like a year and a half is probably the biggest sore spot for me. Granted, it already didn’t run, it popped the timing belt and I got it for free. But it needs the engine out and some machine shop work, needs a bunch of interior work, and most new suspension stuff, and I’ve just been too busy and too depressed to work on it.

    The other stuff that still kinda runs but sre definitely projects is my old lifted 99 Subaru forester that has a twisted frame and needs a new transmission (lol its my forest offroad beater); my daily honda which just needs some interior panels, a door hinge, and new cv axles + shocks; the $400 Subaru outback that needs an engine swap because Subaru moment (gonna daily it tho, it’s a super nice top limited trim)… I seem to constantly stack them up and I’ve done nothing to reduce the backlog lol

      Ahh, yeah. I understand why you haven’t finished the Volkswagen project. I hope you do someday, though!

      Or, you know, just take another swing at the ever growing backlog.

        I’ve already got an order sheet planned out for next week for the stuff that the Honda needs. Since it’s my daily,I figure if I can at least catch up on every relatively minor thing it needs when I get a week off from university for spring break, I’ll feel a lot better about myself.
