Dude, I feel for ya.  You got taken to the cleaners.  Haul your projects away, and haul in more of hers?  At least you got to keep the car trailer!  Time to start scoping out new projects.  Here's one you could try, build a locost kit car with Omega bits!

cheers the olodian  :)

my projects will keep going - the trailer allowing me to colect non runners as i HATE towing!

Its just that my project fund is about £1500 lower with horsey stuff. Lets face it i can buy a banger at £100  and instantly strip for cash, her projects require more time, and capital!

Like the locost idea, is one you have experience in?

Not so far, but I have been looking into it.  Here's a good intro;

MX-5's are quickly becomming perfect donor cars for these types of things.

The car's fine.  I'm what's broken!  I don't think that I've ever been this sore after working on a car.  I stayed up all night putting a V8 in by myself once (started at 1am), but I was younger then  :-[  Lots of rest, and walking around regularly and I'll be fine.  Oh, and lots of ibuprofen!  Man I need to get in shape  :P

I like your sig Bob!  

After all this I think that I have a new plan for when I can finally afford a house.  :-/  I'm gonna get/make a lift for the garage that will raise the car half a meter or so.  That is enough to get under the car with a creeper, do brakes while sitting on a little stool, and it will bring it up to where I don't have to bend over so far to work under the hood!  8-)  And you don't have to have 12'+ ceilings.
