Sell it to a Exporter......

On a more Serious Note:

This what happens if you try for a deadline. When you rush, nothing works or Gels.

Relax...............

Breathe Slowly ...................

Let the Car determine your pace.

Blitz, I missed the McD - cruise tonight due to rain and work.
So wrong place for sympathy, my best Dr Phil impression:
You want some cheese with that whine? Since when are ACVW projects (any car project for that matter) easy ?

Grow a new pair, and get on with it :twisted:
Dont make me come up there !

Thanks for the support guys! :grouphug:

Well, to keep the story short and sweet, my jack decided to give in yesterday morning while I was changing the wheel and my fingers got stuck between the tyre and the ground. Fortunately, they just got bruised, but at the time they felt very freakin broken :oops:

That was the last straw. I snapped and really let loose with the bad words and tool throwing :oops:

I'm still confused after waking up this morning. I'm still undecided what my next course of action is going to be.

Will decide over the weekend - maybe take a drive in the other fasty and hopefully that will give some motivation :|

All this car really needs is a through cleaning in and out and re-assembly of the panels, putting the engine in, sorting the brakes, all small stuff etc

(Almost bought a Golf yesterday - this shows the depth of my frustration :oops: )
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

Should send Karma* over there to beat the crap out of you. Safety first buddy :evil:
Now you blame the tool and not the fool behind the tool :twisted:

Hey Laaitie (Blitz) you got to know that rebuilding or restoring an VW takes time. deadlines dont come easy. Hang in there! When you do something that has to do with the cosmetic side of things, you will feel better. Strongs
