When I retired, I felt a bit lost, but still wanted to work on cars, but, for whatever reason, not my cars.
I put an ad in the local media offering help to folks that were "stuck" on some piece of their car restoration.
I was blown away.
Long story short, I met a buncha folks who were at an insurmountable part of their project.
It'd be something I was able to help them get over, wiring, suspension, fire-up.
I helped get 8 or 9 vehicles on the road, several others on their way.
It was just a matter of a little kick in the *** to get their blood flowing, a walk around the car kicking tires.
It also got my blood flowing, and I got going and finished the projects I had been putting off, and some of those folks came and helped me.
The smiles and friendships were very much worth it.
Try it, lotta projects need help, often not much, just a nudge .
Good luck .
