i usually plan an entire day to do a job that "should" take an hour to do......anything i do on a car ends up costing me to replace a different part somewhere along the line....glad to see im not the only one with car repair blues....
Yes! Simple projects always take the longest...
My favorite so far is when my dad and I were trying to repair a fuel line on a 1950 Buick. We pulled the little piece that screws into the fuel pump off and found the threads on the hose side to be shot. So, we go to O'Rielly's, pick up the new part, come home and it fits fine in the fuel pump. It won't go into the hose end. We take it all up to O'Reilly's and he tells us to clean it. DOH! Screwed right in after that...And the fuel line worked perfectly.
Sometimes when you're working on cars, with the right amount of sleep, your thoughts just go to the end result, not all the steps in between.
