Shit, even that is being generous.

It looked like this for 6 months

I had a stripped car on jack stands . . . on my patio for about 5 years.

I'm aware, I've parted out more than a few cars here.
For as far as it's come, and for what I spent, and how many engines I've gone through. I'm not totally displeased with it.

Thanks Ben. I took the day off yesterday so that Amy and I could go to breakfast and lunch and see a movie but Mya woke up with a fever and sore throat. So instead I worked on the Cobra while Amy took care of Mya. I'm going to try and finish it up today.

I have been looking at houses pretty seriously over the past few months, I would REALLY like to keep the blue car, but, i'm not sure I can pull the trigger on a purchase this year like I intend to while having a nice bank cushion without selling it. The more I research the more I realize all the shit that comes along with it, not just the down payment. So in an attempt to save it, I'm going full liquidation on everything else. Meaning if it's not needed for completion of the car, its gone. No matter how minor of a part, it's being photographed and sold. It will take an assload of time, be a major hassle with dealing with jacktards, but if it gets me a place, and keeps my car it's worth it.

Also setting up a pretty aggressive savings schedule, fortunately being on competition prep allows me to save serious coin on food since I all eat is canned tuna, rice, peanut butter and avocados, well as much as anyone who consumes 3980 calories a day can save. I stopped going out, no more vegas, no more clubbing, no more dating, only cash being spent is on making the car complete in the even that I need to sell it, and it will be so it can be sold at a premium, because if I do have to sell it, i'm not going to give it away, if I don't have to sell it, it'll be done before I buy and require nothing but consumables.

This is just a plan, things could go horribly south like they have been for the past few years, but i'm done fucking around, side work, hocking shit, whatever I have to to rathole as much cash as possible.
