67 411 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I have been reading a lot of the posts in the project section and I was wondering if anyone has ever figured out what the percentage of abandon projects is? I have seen a few lately and I know there has to be a lot. Anyone ever add them up? Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I used to make quite a bit of money buying and putting back together father-son projects,so i think it`s the same with any car hobby. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 They are only abandoned when you scrap or sell it. If you still have it somewhere it's still WIP. Quote Link to comment

67 411 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 There has to be a way to do it. There is always the way to save money kind of like a lottery without losing. Get 6 people to put 30 a month into a paypal account, then every month one person gets the money. So everyone will get 180 ounce in a 6 month period. Its your own money its a good way to help save money. Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm an owner of a dead project thread but not a dead project. With less and less time available to work on the wagon... I gave up updating the web and focused on just working on the car. Later Joel Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Ratsun lottery pool? Put money in account, buy lottery tickets with money each week. Split money when we win. Yay, ratsun millionaires! Quote Link to comment
