    Sometimes , in the deep dark of t "the grind of daily work" you need to lift your gaze and remind yourself where you are headed. Remind yourself why you do all this. What the desired outcome will be. I lift my hat to you, Sir.

    Inspirational ! Watching this is making me wish I had held into all the tin tops I had back in the day. I also parted with a rare well maintained low mileage 92’ mint cabriolet GTI that I bought at a steal in 2014 and let go in 2015 at a low price because I didn’t have a garage and couldn’t bear to see it exposed to elements. My tin tops suffered from the sills and valances and arches, and the dreaded clutch plate not to mention the damn petrol tanks. These issues cropped up as early as the 90’’s , I had my fair share of issues to deal with and it wasn’t easy on a student budget. DIY was the way to go !

    Another good video and glad that your enthusiasm for the project has had a boost. It’s that which will keep you going through the tedious bits (which are very important). Maybe you could do more of the ‘tedious’ bits off camera so you can move along more quickly.

    When ever you get spooked by how much is left to do, always try to focus on what you’ve done so far and think back to how bad it was. My own current 1977 MK1 Golf GTI project has just reached 300 hours and from experience and keeping diaries of previous projects I estimate I’ve still got 500 to go if I decide to paint it myself.
