I tend to tackle projects that I can complete in a matter of days, not weeks or months.
It is too much fun to drive to make it sit for that long.
Probably makes for duplicating tasks, but working on it is fun too!

All that obsessive activity is great, but remember to “road test” the car, with a vengeance, after every tweak. Otherwise you’re just a “waxer”.

I agree. But I tend to get very little time off. Add to that I waited for a year on Fikse to deliver my wheels. I really didn’t feel safe driving around on 22 year old rubber.
