I tell my wife that there are 2 lists in the garage:
1. Things I want to do to the truck
2. Things the truck needs to keep it on the road
There are lots of overlap, of course. But I don't have unlimited time/money/space to be able to just knock it out in one swoop (I wish I could).
I love driving my truck an every little thing I do to it makes driving it more and more fun. I installed a set of new shocks on Sunday ($50) and now I don't bounce down the road. I fixed a bunch of busted springs in the bench seat (8 zip ties) and now I don't lean to the left.
I made a pretty extensive list I have hanging above the bench. As things get marked off, the list gets shorter. I started this project with a general idea of what I wanted and let the truck shape itself up into what it should be when I'm all done.
Please tell me at some point I'll be "done".
