Another slams in yer feckin' face!

Been having a good old sort out of Tyson tonight, loads of jobs to do.

For every job I successfully completed, one got broken!

So far I broke -

The ignition switch just jammed solid, so had to drill the bastard off so I could start the bastard car.

I got a new (to me) indicator switch assembly as the other was broken & stabbed my hand with sharp metal.
This is now in the garden in a million bits as the bleedin' thing was different to mine & I thought I
could alter the thing to fit - it exploded!

I needed to adjust the drivers door as it stood well proud of the panel lines & made a racket on the
road, ****ting Jesus if I didn't snap a bloody striker plate bolt in a position where the door does
close, but you cant lock the fecker!

On the flipside, I fitted new plastics to the front, a new interior light, sorted the headlining, fitted
a new handbrake gaiter & cleaned the windows!

All in all I wrecked all the stuff that you need & made it a look a bit prettier!

Bring on Richard at beamends ffs! You're gonna get a Porsche out of me at this rate!

;~) All part of the experience I suppose!

I'm assuming that you've already laid underneath it, whacked something
with a hammer and had half a kilo of stale cow****-soaked muck fall in
your face? If not then you should start at the beginning and get this
sorted immediately.

Jesus, just got back from Simonites, £88 for an indicator switch, new ignition lock,collar & shear bolts
(odd they dont come as one unit, good job I opened the box to look at it as the miserable, unhelpful ****
servng me knew I needed them but didn't tell me.)

Mind you,at least they had stock so I dont have to hotwire the thing anymore & can make turning
signals!!!

I have been told that it was always considered to bring bad fortune to
change the name of a craft, unless certain elaborate rituals were
performed - in boating circles at any rate!

Sadly, I don't have knowledge of these rituals themselves. ;o)

If you believe in that sort of thing!

Or that piece of metal you didn't realise was in fact the transmission
cross-member. happened on a volvo when i was trying to fit a new fuel line.
