UHHH!! today has been really frustrating. I waited till about 1 for the ups package with all the wishbone bosses and plates. I managed to finish all the rear wishbones and the lower front ones, then as i was cutting the cds tubing to make the last 2 wishbones, my evo rage 3 saw seemed to swing up taking the cds tubing with it and shooting it into the garage wall making a gaping dent in the wall. Im glad it didnt hit me. It also put teeth marks all the way along the cds tubing digging in to thetubing about 1mm at most so now i need to buy about 300mm more tubing, but am not sure if i should still use this piece as i didnt buy any excess tubing to make my wishbones.




I called tesco direct(where i bought my saw) and they said theyll send me a new saw on wednesday and collect the old one as it no longer goes down properly to cut. I think the large spring holding the saw in place from coming down has moved itself slightly not allowing me to cut. Tomorrow is sierra butchering day and im expecting everything from 3ge components to come and the ball joints and other bits to get the car rolling. ill hopefully weld on the last few bits on wednesday and finish off the wishbones then, and hopefully spend thursday putting it all together to get it on wheels.
