hard time getting motivated

I think the key is work on the car when it will be fun for you, not a drudgery.
a hobby is supposed to provide fun. it helps me to have a car that is a driver, to enjoy when I get tired and repair, replace, and $$$$.
i'm 67, been rode hard and put up wet, like a lot of us this age bracket! LOL
as the old fellow said, " I just get a little "tireder' and liitle quicker!"...
