What would you do?

okay guys, i have become seriously burned out on my car. here's the deal...i spend 2 months gathering parts and getting everything ready for the engine work ($1300). less than 2 mos after all the work was done, it blew the new head gasket...stupid falty parts ($400). 3 weeks later I got into that fender bender (dec 11,2001). stupid frame rack guy flaked on me 3 weeks in a row. in the meantime my car experienced a leaky injector and my radiator completley blew (thanks to the stupid accident).

after all this i'm just plain burned out. here's my question. if you were in my boat would you leave the car as it is...take a break and wait to throw on the WW kit and paint job for the end of the summer? OR...get the WW kit on and the car 100% primered for now and then take a break and paint it at the end of the summer?

both jer & i have a background in autobody so we're going to do all the work at a friend's shop. i don't know if i want to get into another project while i'm so burned out.

what would you do???

park it and drive something else, you will want to spend every waking moment to finish it because you miss it. cut your self off from the out side world, you will either go nuts or you will end up with a sweet ride. i speek from expierence.

i'm thinkung i'll get it to primer with the kit on. then the kit will be on and i can leave it alone for a couple of months

yea i wish. actually i haven't driven my car more than 1 day a week over the last month. i gave it to jer to drive before i went nuts. not driving didn't help any

i'm thinking i'll get it to primer and then leave it alone. then i'm considering working on the '68 Squareback (VW Type 3). the engine is just sitting here waiting to be dropped in.

i wish i could just leave cars alone for a couple of months but, my O.C.D. won't let that happen
