I heard someone knowledgable on the news disputing that alcoholism is a
disease. He was saying that it is just a weak willed person.
With that said, what I was looking for was a parts car, and what I found is
a car that is roughly in the same condition as mine. I think that a lot of
the people here would consider them both to be parts cars. But, I'm feeling
weak and can't see killing a car that can be saved. And there's my dilemna.
I really don't need 2 projects. And, ... it would shift my priorities to
fixing the other one ( body ) first as my current Sprite is street legal
assuming that I get the front suspension and brakes back on :)). It needs
all the same body panels as my current one does. But, then with the body
restored, I would have all the other parts to shift over to make a
safetiable car and I could start on the original project again. But then, I
would want the proper parts on the right cars and ... it seems like I should
just go back to bed instead of going ahead with this. Did I mention that my
garage is small and, though the car should fit sideways, at the back, if I
clean the garage out more, it's going to get more ackward? What am I doing?

( If only it was 'clearly' a parts car ... :))
