Has anyone gotten burnt out on this project? I'm tired of things going wrong all the time and frustrations galore.

Has anyone gotten burnt out on this project? I'm tired of things going wrong all the time and frustrations galore.

I have had moments were I just didn't feel like working on the car. It was mostly after I got to body stuff and wrapping up details. Sometimes progress is just slow and it feels like the work in and the results out don't match. Usually I get most frustrated when things that are supposed to work don't (or don't work as well as I think they should). One big thing for a long time was harness mounts. The R has them, the S doesn't, probably about $5 in material, $10 in labor to bend them, $20 in labor to have them welded. Would save a lot of time for the majority of S users that don't use factory seatbelts yet....they're not there. IMO, it's one of the "we can save money here, but we shouldn't". I've finally gotten around to making some mounts and have 1 welded in.
