Pitiful Project Procrastination Prolongs Progress


Recommended Posts

So, at work today as I was filling out my time card, I relized it was 5/10.  Whens a better day to finally start working on my 510?.   After 4 years of it sitting around, procrastinating, and rippings its heart out and pushing its corps back and had to watch as I transplanting it into the 521...

 

Even if this takes me as long as it did to start the project as it does to finish it, its a start.  And hopfully making this thread will motivate me more... 

 

 

HAPPY 510 DAY!!!

 Seriously we have had a 2door in the back longer than both our 4doors ( my brothers and mine) put together..... And still she sits. 510s aren`t the be all end all everybody wants to believe my brother loved his 521 probably more then his 510.. It`s just the 510 is quite a bit more comfy for long trips..

Cool, datsun floor mats...  Well, as I lift it up and toss it out to see whats underneath... My eyes widen, my mouth droops open and a smile is bestowed upon my face.  And as I gasp and reach down to pick up a completely drenched peice of paper, hoping its what ive been searching for, (for nearly 4 years).  As im carefully unfolding this paper soaked with old mossy dirt water, hoping its not just some old ass registration.... Its not!...  Its the Title I lost damn near right after I bought it... FUCKIN YES!!!  what a great day this has turned out to be...  Its currently drying on the prelude seat...  this was the main reason why I waited so long to work on this.  If I had this car done I couldent register it... but, now ... woohooo!
