Basil,
If you can stick to few minutes a day on doing something to it, you will be surprised what all you've done in a month. I get to work on my cars 3 to 4 days a week now that I am retired but sometimes I think will I ever get some of the things done. I AM having fun.
I do plan to start another XKE project after this TR3 is done, think I will ease back into it by doing the 69 coupe first. Its not as bad as the SII roadster. Then there's the 64 coupe. Too many, too little time.
