self-esteem? im not exactly sure what it is because i dont really have that, but this new hobby makes me feel productive and better about myself.

if anyone is interested, i recently began restoring classic cars on the weekends. i used the medpay money (that i got from the accident i was in last year) to get started. ive always liked old cars, and personally wonder why people spend so much money on new cars (cause new cars suck!) :sarcasm
for fifteen hundred dollars i got a seventy-three dodge polara and a sixty-five barracuda!
here is a link if anyone wants to see them.

the cuda was sat in a ditch for ten years, but after tinkering with the engine a bit it RAN! its currently being rebuilt by my boyfriend, while im spending quite a bit of time scraping off the undercoating. i have taken the cuda completly apart, and it is currently hoisted on its side awaiting pressure washing and sandblasting.
i knew NOTHING about cars a few months ago, but have learnt a LOT! this fall i signed up for two classes: Brake Systems and Engine Fundamentals. this will hopefully give me some of that self esteem stuff ive been hearing about. :shy

if anyone actually visits it, *please* let me know if you can read the caption up top in green. my monitor is screwed up and i can only read it if i highlight it. :ugh

Hello Lime Fire,

Pretty neat deal you've got going there and yes the green banner came in fine on my screen.

I had to laugh when I found out what your post was about as my husband's business is about auto upholstery. Make sure the car is painted and ready to go before you fix the inside interior - just a little free advice, hope you don't mind.

Joy
