Many of us probably regret not having finished some project we started. We either we lose interest, move, or lack the necessary funds, but ultimately live to regret not having completed it.
Near the top of my list was an engine swap of a small block Chevy V-8 into a VW Beetle. I built a sub-frame for it out of 2" x 4" rectangular tubing, cut the area away for a firewall, and installed a narrowed 12 bolt chevy positraction rear end. Chevy engine can be seen on engine stand in second picture.
I had fabricated motor mounts and bolted a Chevy bare block bolted in place when I sold my house, and no longer had room for the project. Kept the engine, but practically had to give the car away.
I would be interested in projects others started but abandoned for one reason or another.
