Anyone else obsess over an irrelevant part of their projects?
I built my own seats for the mg. 1 is done less upholstery the other is a bare frame. Despite the fact that the car is not really ready to run I am obsessing over building new better seats for the car. This is stupid when I know that all energy should go toward just getting it running but I want to go redo something that is perfectly fine. Make me feel less alone.
Are the wire wheels immaculate?

I have machined 6 different IAC adapters because each time I thought I could make them more compact. I cut and welded up four alloy dashes for my fiat but the fifth is being built because I found a better looking and rare coupe cluster that I would prefer to use.
You are not alone
You are not alone.
It's funny because I'm annoyed by the same part of my built. The seats are the first part of my project I did (about five years ago), and now I want to re-do them because I find them ugly and they are tighter than I would like. That last part might be because my middle section has grown since then. But then, as I age, I don't think I'll get as slim as I once was.

I pulled a perfectly good running engine in the X1/9 so I could paint the engine compartment to match the rest of the car. I think it's put me behind by at least a year.
You're in good company.
I pulled the engine back out of my Miata a couple weeks ago simply because the engine bay wasn't clean enough.
Little details keep my cars from ever being finished.
I spent a whole weekend making (and remaking) a flippable (L to R) seat bracket for a race car I need to actually race in 10 days even though the thing isn't wired or fire bottled, none of the nets are in and I don't even need a passenger seat to race it. WTF is wrong with me.
I do the same thing, but usually with better timing 
Yep pretty much my way in every build.
