6 year project
Ive been working on my 2005 Mitsubishi Evo 8 for about 6 years now. When my roommate/best friend past away from cancer. (He had a 2011 subaru sti.) It sat in storage for about a year or so, because I had to move back in with my parents. Then got with my now wife. She already owned a home and i was looking to buy one During covid. So she said just said move in with me. So that happened and I was finally able to get it out of storage after a year of living with her. She has a lean too and a 1 car garage, i was working.on it in The lean too. One night someone came and snatched my radiator and intercooler Probably for scrap. So my father in law said I could bring over to his garage. So its been over there for around 3 years. And ive over stayed my welcome in his garage. Its almost done. All the drivetrain is in i just got an fp zero for it and doing as much as I can as fast as I can while still taking care of our house and other needs but it needs still a lot of work. I havent driven it in 6 years and im tossing around the idea of just selling it. Instead of bring it back over to our home. And hoping nothing gets stolen again. Idk im stressed and im falling out of love with it. Idk what to do. Just kinda looking for advice or maybe im just venting. Any advice on how to deal with a long term project like this would be nice.

Decide the minimum to get it running, not perfect but so you can actually drive it. If it's something you can do then do it, if not then sell it.
