Down for six months...

Post by hayesbd »

...and looking for suggestions.

I have apparently had a seizure this week so it means that I will not be able to drive a car for at least 6 months. While I am obviously bummed out, I am trying to look on the bright side of things. If any of you had 6 months to get something done on a daily driver, what would you tackle? I can start driving again in December, but since that's when the snow starts around here, it may be a bit longer than 6 months before I can drive the spider again. Should I start the body panel work (need to replace sills, etc.), or should I try something a little less ambitious?

Thanks,
Brian

I would add "Carb Defender" to the fuel if the car will be sitting that long

body work is a good thing to take on at one time and it looks like you've got a good block of time to do it. Sorry to hear about the stroke. I hope it wasn't serious......relatively :wink:
