I couldn't agree more. I've been restoring Camaro's with my father since I could walk. Yep, I hated EVERY minute of it until; I got my own "project". But the knowledge that I obtained from working with my dad is invaluable, and relied upon almost daily.
Also, don't look at your "project" as a money pit, but as investments. Investments need time to acquire interest, give it time. For instance: in the 15 months that I've been deployed, the increase in my Vette's value has increased. I base this, not only on the parts that my wife hated me purchasing prior to deployment as to their prices now, but as the car as a whole. There's no way that I'd sell it; I have too much pride in her now!
Bottom line: give it time & enjoy restoring/building your "project" (especially if you have young ones to teach the trade to).
