1970 Duster project in Sweden

I've had so little time to work on the car the past months I feel like I lost some of my momentum/drive. I know it will come back eventually, but as it is now I don't even feel like going to the garage when I do have some spare time. How do you guys coupe with this?

How far away is the garage from your place? I think earlier in the thread you mentioned your sharing a shop as you live in an apartment? Regardless, having lived in Stockholm (Stocksund) myself for several years, I envy you being able to live in Stockholm; if I could, I would go back in a flash to visit. You’re in a great city with lots of things to do! With the engine out of your car, not being able to drive it is a huge deterrent as more ‘work’ needs to be done before it’s even ready to drive. However, it’s not like you’d be driving the car anyways now given the winters in Stockholm.

Perhaps the travel time to and from your garage cuts is also having you consider ‘is it worth it to work on it for x hrs if it takes me 1hr of travel time?’ Maybe take a break from working on it for a month or so and then get back to it in the new year. If you’re away from it too long, not being able to drive it in the Spring/summer might be even more of a deterrent to work on it in many months time? Also, if your life situation is going to be changing in the near future (ie: marriage/kids) then it would be best get the engine back in the car ASAP as it will be even more difficult to do that after the ‘life’ changes.
