Worst day ever*

[deezee]

*excluding actual important events

Finally managed to get my dad to sweat it out in his workshop machining all 44 bushes down to suit the incorrect diameter end tubes I purchased I was hopeful I'd be able to get the rear suspension on in an evening, after all, I had all the parts..... what could go wrong

Well as it turns out, I could do what This Thread warned about and fit my rear suspension as per a 3D drawing I had in AutoCAD. The result, 8 fully welded wishbone brackets in the wrong place. I did all this around a month ago, all the spacings were correct..... you know.... just in the wrong place

So after putting a slitting disc into my hand being dumb with frustration I'm struggling to remove these brackets. Anyone got any useful, practical advice. I the absence of useful advice, I'll accept; Read the fricking Book, Measure twice, Weld once and also DURRRRRRRR.

Unlucky mate, I wouldn't be so judgemental as to say "read the book" but....er...you know

Buy some thicker gloves too!

Cheers

Yeah thats why I'm at home now metabolising alcohol. After slitting my hand I chucked the grinder (then quickly checked it to make sure I hadn't done any real damage ) Jumped in my car and tried to light up the tyres in rage. Sadly the LSD and awesome traction had different ideas and I just looked like an idiot..... YEEaaaahhh Macho
