Right where shell i start.

At the beggining of the year i decided to fit an exhuast system as i thought how differcult can this be, how wrong was i. First thing i couldn't get the old system off, so i had to cut that off. Then the new straight through was too long so i had to cut that down and sort that out.

Then it comes to today, when i fort yer i will fit my new clutch, easy job me and my old man think, due to reading the manual. This was not to be the case. First problem we had was that we could not get the input drive shaft out, so we had to find the tool from somewhere this took a gd hour. then we took that off and the it came to the clutch. As mine is only a 1.2 8v we fort it must be the standard flywheel instead of a Pot flywheel so it will just fall out, this was not the case we tried and tried and now the clutch is stuck in there and we cant move it this means that we have to take the whole gearbox out just to change the clutch. i wish i never brought one now.

Why cant anythink go to plan and have to be such a pain to sort out.

cheers mate, i better get it sorted soon, ready for max, might do some more stuff to car while its off the road, like spraying.
i am also tempted to start spraying up for freinds and that, u know the quality all ready and thats only from cans, so if u need anymore done just ask and spread the word.
