Any progress?

I hope I'm not coming off as some spoiled teenager or something haha because that is definitely not the case.

I don't think you are, i certainly have not got that vibe.

Seeing these awesome 2002 threads makes me want to find one! My E30 needs love first I guess. Awesome job learning how to weld and fabricate things! Like someone else said you can really see your skills progress over time. Its inspired me to learn how to weld!

[Zreberlcoe]

Or like this other kid on R3V that got mad at his mom and smashed his e30's windshield. So lame

Direct me to this thread.

Na man. Spoiled would be "My dad got me a shop and a lift but he didnt get me any tools. I waffleswaffleswaffleswafflesing hate him" lol

hahahaha I saw that. At least he looked really badass

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the support!

I hope I'm not coming off as some spoiled teenager or something haha because that is definitely not the case. I've always financially supported my own interests and hobbies and my parents have always been there for me in spirit. I live a pretty simple life so I can afford to pay for the things I love doing.

I thought about getting a shop space like that and splitting the cost with some friends.
Inspiration can come from the weirdest of places sometimes :)
Good thing you made the decision and went through with it.

[deutschman]

Yeah my pops could give a flying poop about anything I am into. Love the guy but he has never really supported or showed real interest in anything I do. Good thing I have a stand up mom.
Your lucky to have that kind of dad. And a lift lol
Ill have my own some day.

Tink you are over here thread-crapping with your drool worthy pics on this thread with its own drool-worthy pics? I hate you guys.

[MC Hammered]

Congrats on finding that sweet shop space!

I wish I could have my own shop too but it is big $$$ here in Vancouver. :(

[deutschman]

Ok now I'm jelousy. Shop space is my dream of dreams.

[tinkwithanr]

Congrads, it's amazing how much a difference having a real space to work will do. I just wish mine was in Cali lol.

And great minds think alike, this was my project over this past weekend. Just need to finish hooking up the hydraulics and run the power to it:

[CubbyChowder]

Congrats on the new space!

I hope you appreciate having a Dad that encourages/assists you as you describe, all are not so fortunate.


Also, it's probably not the best idea to base all your life decisions on hot sauce packets, but i think did the right thing this time.

haha don't worry, I'll keep hot sauce inspired life decisions to a minimum from this point on.

I'm very appreciative that I have the parents that I do, they have always been supportive of my interests. My dad definitely gives me courage to just go for things a lot, because he spent his whole life following his heart as well. He knows I'm a responsible dude so he supports my decisions.

.great story...

you deserve this....Ive watched your vids.......you have some genuine skills...and your dad has given you great choices..

any possibility this will become a career for you?...that was not clear to me...or just a hobby that pays a bit?..

Thank you very much! As far as where this all goes, I'm taking it one day at a time. As of right now, it's for personal use. But I'm sure after months of doing my own thing there, something will come out of it. We'll see what happens!
