It's all over for me and cars

[Boza]

I didn't know where to pu this but just need to vent my frustration to like minded people as most in my family aren't into cars.

Well first a bit about me I'm 29 years old and have played with cars all my life working on them with my dad and generally thought of modifying/fixing cars as a relaxing past time and a form of therapy.

Well I have been batling an illness called crohn's disease it is a form of inflamitory bowel disease and while it was under control it has flared badly for the past year and I have 0 energy and generally feel exhausted and crap all the time not to mention being stuck in the toilet and in horrible pain all the time making it impossible to work on cars.

Well now I also have a condtion called ankylosing spondilitis which is a form of severe arthritis brought on by the inflamitory bowel disease (crohn's) its in my hands back, knees and all over the place.

I have a ba turbo in the driveway at the moment and the more I look at it and want to work on it I can't I can't even detail it properly myself and have to pay people. Well now I can't work and am on disability pension and have no money for my hobby which I'm passionate about.

What I'd like is some suggestions on how I can stay with my hobby but I don't really wanna pay mechanics as I get such a huge enjoyment out of working on and maintaining my own cars and I had an xe esp that I built but had to sell aswell due to this everytime I look in the projects section I feel like crying as I love working on cars with my mates and hanging out in garages talking crap about cars and working on them.

What would you do if you were in myshoes just want some suggestions on how I can stay in the hobby or just maintain my car to my standard lets just say I'm pedantic when it comes to my cars.

Sorry for the long post but just feel I need to vent to like mended people
