Has anyone ever......
 
Felt like getting all the chassis steel and taking it to the scrap yard!

Ive had a bad day today on the chassis front and im feeling sorry for myself :(

You wont though you will sort it .;)

My car's pretty much finished and sometimes I feel like taking the whole damn thing to the scrapyard!

Lock the garage up and leave it alone for a few days, come back to it with a fresh mind.

I once left a Capri i was restoring for 6 months beacause it annoyed me so much. Finished in the end though. Good luck.

As Paul & Sam have said, give yourself some timeout & you,ll go back to it with confidence & WILL sort it ;)

If you need any replacement parts for your chassis steel, just shout & i,ll replace them FOC :).

I,m sure we,ve all had bad days during the build, its a strange way of making us feel even more chuffed when you complete the task in hand :eek:

cheers

Had many set backs..

Wishbone issue.
Peadle Box issue
Chassis Bracket Issue
Upright Issue
Engine Size issue.

And more..

It's part of building a custom car..























BUT IT F.........ING annoying at times.

im in the same boat as twin ! i got so frustrated earlier this month i stripped the whole thing down and piled it on one side of the garage havent touched it since

BUT .. ive got a week off and hopefully chassis will be completed and painted at minimum pedal box reworked and a fuel tank made.

stick at it and take andy up on his offer if you need to i keep thinking of calling him up and telling him i need the whole chassis replaced :D
