don't give it up, most of us have been in this position. i had to sell my first jeep i built to pay bills, and when my family started. i wish i never did, after that i gave up after a few years and thought i'd never be able to get into jeeps again.
it will be hard to keep it up for the next couple years, but now my boys are 3 and 6, i've got a couple projects, and my mj and xj, and i'm glad i was able to get back into it. i wish i still had my first yj.
don't sell it, and in a few years you'll be all over it. worst case.
