I've spent the past 9 plus hours dealing with a broken head/manifold stud, broken easy out, broken clutch fork pin, and what now feels like a broken back.
How many of you have gotten to the point where you don't want to sell your car, but giving it away would be a viable option?
My TR6 has given me more problems in the past year than I could begin to submit. I'm not looking for any assistance.
What I am looking for are some tales that will assure me that I am not alone.
Once the Six is finished, I have to get back to painting my TR3. And of course, the Austin Healey restoration falls next in line.
I didn't mention today's other follies like a shifter cap that locked up; replacement fork pin that would not thread in; and of course remembering too late that the release bearing goes on before the pin is safety wired. The tranny(with OD=heavy) went together twice to the engine. I had planned to easily have the car running by this evening, but the engine isn't even ready to drop in yet. Sometimes I would like to strangle Mr. Murphy!
And to think, I could have been watching the Oscars.
