Yeh, man, put down that LSD!!!! That stuff will really mess you up.  Seriously though, you just have to plan out the time and get started. I think you'll find that once you get started the motivation will be there to get it done.

I was without my 'Tour for almost a year, took that long to find a suitable donor car for the motor. Now that it's back on the road, I love it!!!! Not sure if we're going to sell it now or keep it..... How long will it last? Who knows?

That's one of the reasons why I asked.
I was going to suggest getting rid of that car, so that you have absolutely no ride. Without a car, you HAVE to get your 'tour running so you can drive again.

Having to drive a Chevrolet is torture enough. Fix that Contour and go have some fun. I doubt that 4L60E has much life left in it.

Pale Horse, here ya go:
- Break down the work into blocks that you want to accomplish that will take anywhere from 1 day to 1 week.
- Make a written list of these tasks and a reasonable estimate of the time each will take. (use a computer for easy editing and updating)
- Arrange the items in the proper seguence for the work flow, your schedule, and your interests (don't do all the things you like best first).
- Start to work the list with a positive attitude - the glass is half full NOT half empty - you already have the parts they just need to go together!
- Track your progress - check off or highlight each task as it is accomplished
- At the beginning remind yourself how many tasks you've finished - forget about how many are left.
- Once you're halfway done concentrate on how few are left to complete the task - and TURN that KEY
Good luck, and remember, every mountain is climbed one step at a time.
You just have to take those steps.
