I never thought about my house projects .

In that case I also need to

Run power into the garage .

Plant stuff in the empty planter I got ready .

Fill in the hole the dog made by the septic tank lid .

Run new surround wires in tubing along the baseboards in the living room .

Pay someone to do the recurring weeds since they are pissing me off :wink1:
 
I've got at least 6 antique gas pumps I need to get restoring, but my compressor is broke :mad:
 
I'm working on my 80 K25, 89 C1500, and Toyota pickup.

89 got insurance tonight, and will be on the road tommorow after I put the exhaust manifolds on, 80 has a few months of work left, and the Toyota needs a total engine overhaul before It'll be ready to DD or sell

I wasn't going for a pissing contest, I was looking for people who have more unfinished projects than me to make me feel better :D
 
Well, ive had my truck for a year and its still not done. But i got a nice parts truck im stealing parts off of. I have to rip the parts truck to peices, keep what i want and scrap the rest. Then i gotta swap the motor, axles and tires onto my truck and then put my lift on.

My quad is sitting in the garage, waitng for brake parts to come in.

I have a set of heads waiting for some porting and valve seals.

The rest mostly involves my truck and i also need to find a job. But i have plenty of things to keep me busy in the mean time.
 
YJ project that I'm trying to get rid of..... here

The constant project, curently undecided on the fate of the axles tires and wheels .....blazer

Wheels tires and axles might go under the newest project.....toyota

Sorry for cross linking but I'm lazy..
