Great video! I have been working on my 1980 capri RS. My mom ordered new in 1979. It was a 4 cylinder 4 speed car. I did a full 302 T5 drivetrain swap. It's running and driving. But the last 25% of working the bugs out is the hardest. I like that I can start it and hear it idle through the flow masters. Especially in winter. Thanks for the content!
Great advice! Need to get my new control arms from Christmas on the back of my 89 GT. Just need a little extra motivation to tackle it in my tight garage.
Thanks for the motivation man. Sometimes it’s hard to find the time and energy with everything else going on in life. Hoping to have my ‘91 vert running again first thing in the spring. It’s been a long time coming!
Great video! I needed to hear that! I’ve always said “they’re no fun when the don’t run”. I have a few projects that got put on the back burner for not running and I lost motivation. Thanks for the push I needed to get back in the shop!
All good tips. I'd had combinations of some of those to keep going for my projects. Thanks for sharing. Also, I wanted to add that since my foxbody is my daily driver, making money at work is a strong motivator. 😂
Thanks sir for this motivation, I need to get out to the storage and fire it up and just let it run. I might even take it down the road to get some gas in it. Thought about selling it but just running across this video makes me want to keep it and start cruising around. Thank you.😎🤘🏽
One problem I have is jumping from car to car. I want to work on one car one week, then jump to another the next. This often leads to me not having either car running like it should.
I recently lost motivation on my fox I did top end rebuild just to have the piston rings go bad on the motor so I started to look at 347 stroker build cost. Project cars nickel and dim you none stop best advice is to keep the car clean and avoid cars that require more work than usual.
I just started my iroc after 2 months in garage. It's squealing like hell. I shut it right off. Either alt waterpump or p steering. My fox started right up and idled happily. It's always sumting
That DECH is looking good Brother! I hear ya... rain or shine.... cold or hot... keep wrenching!
Thanks man! Keep on wrenching!
Yes sir. A running car is fun. A sitting car sits. Totally agree with you on that point.
👍👍😀

What a cool car! Good luck with the last 25%.
Thank you! 👍👍

That’s a nice Christmas present! Best of luck with the install. 😀👍👍

“They’re no fun when they don’t run”
That is perfect!
I’m really happy the video could help. What cars are you working on?

I loved hearing your stories on the Rollin In My 5.0 podcast
Thank you! I had a great time talking with Chris and Gary. 👍👍
I needed this! I have a Rav4 I am 50% done with a LS install for the worlds first Rav8, a Ravolet. Great video!
@@RobsNeighbor what a cool project! I’m glad the video could help. Thank you. 👍👍
thanks!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome! 😀
I'm close to starting my GLX vert. Cleaning things when money is tight.
Very nice! 👍👍

It can be hard to focus on one when you have multiple projects. I have done the same thing. Best of luck with your projects.

Solid advice. A basket case can really nickel and dime you. Good luck with the 347.
👍👍
Makin me feel bad my dude. You probably shot this in sub zero temps, I'm down here in Texas bitching about 34 degrees in my shop, lol.
I understand I lose motivation when it’s cold. I had to invest in a garage heater. 😀👍👍

It is always something. Can’t beat the coolness factor though. Nice rides! 👍
@AlteredStangs yep went to HF and bought a stethoscope but will wait for things to warm up. Your car rocks.
@mistersecret88 what I do is pop the belt off and spin the pulleys, listen for noise and feel to see if anything is not smooth.
Thanks!!! 👍😀
@AlteredStangs great advice!
@ thank you! 😀
82 GT
One of my favourites! Very nice.
You need some blizztek tires on that car!
For sure! Maybe some chains. 😂 Mickey Thompson ET mud and snow. 👍
I lost all motivation and my junk just sits in the winter
@@timweb1510 you can do it Tim! 👍👍 Heat sure helps in the winter though.
