I don't know how old you are and what you have been through thus far in life so sorry if I get it wrong, but I know what my goals were when I was starting out. Firstly roof over my head and not paying somone elses investment off for them. It does get hard, I watched plenty of my mates doing their cars up whilst I was saving for a house epecially hard as I was a panel beater spraypainter who loves cars. But guess what unless you can turn a buck out of them to reach your goals you may as well leave them where they are. Stick to one project and see it through properly it really pays off. Again don't know how old you are but the time will come when you can do and buy what you want. IMHO I can't see collectable cars going up crazy in price as they did in the early part of 2000. Bricks and mortar is the best investment you can make. Ps I ve been with my GF now for 25yrs 20 of those married to her.
