fixing your own car is shit sometimes:(

Anonymous · 02-05-2005, 09:13 PM

im sort of good with my hands ,well i would have a go at anything,so when theres a problem thats not too big i have a go my self.
i put a new driveshaft on my 205 gti which turned into an 5 hr job instead of 2 or so :cry:
nuts rounding etc etc plus cause its the drivers side shaft its longer and theres a bearing half way up the shaft .
just glad im finished theres nothing worse than lying under a car which is has one axel stand ,and gearbox oil is dripping on your head.
rank over and system cleared

:twisted:

try fixing your bike without a center stand and then dropping it. Cost me 400 on fairings/indicators

Was just trying to adjust the chain slack!!

dont know in the uk, go mine here for $3400.00 but shortly thereafter i let someone else drive it and they drove it right into a tree. i fixed it to the point where i can drive as its my only car but as soon as i get another vehicle im going to start what will be about 5000.00 bucks worth of overhauling.
