I wanna work on stuff

But the weather sucks and I don't have a garage.

Sometimes WA sucks.

yea I know how bad this can be, but use it too your advantage. Make a list, a complete list of everything you want too do and take the time to think about how you can do it/bigger/stronger/better. I too hate the fact that I do not get too work on my car as much as I would like but I try to use it too my opportunity by making sure everything is planned out well when I do get time. Because of my stomach crap I spend more time planning now then working, it drives me nuts honestly but the extra time spent planning does allow me to get everything ready to be done when the time comes. Been wanting to complete the project I am on now for the past 2 days but have not felt well enough. Now hopefully tomorrow I can and now have a plan and all the parts together for it...
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

We have a super old garage I dotn really trust in a windstorm. I think I need to get busy and clean it out so I can at least pull it in and do things.

Very soon I have a decent project to start. I need to pull out a good portion of my old wiring from my system last year. Build a new box and amp rack. Rewire a bunch of stuff. Put in the new alternator. Possibly put in a new deck and maybe have to do soem fiberglass to get some tweets and maybe mids into the A pillars.

Im also starting the new engine soon. Hopefully Ill have that all together by spring or summer.

I am still rebuilding after my wreck in july. Currently I am doing a wire tuck and smoothing out the engine bay at the moment. I had to move the fuse box into the fender to clean it up but trying to keep access to it through some kind of clean looking access door/panel. Just about ready to weld in the panels too smooth it all out, so glad I decided to learn to weld this year....
