Wishing you hadn't started

[clio-lane]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has started a job with a particular time frame in mind and it's all gone bandy. Painting my calipers took 3 days in the end, after expecting it to be 24hrs, and the front pads which should have been about 45 mins took 4 hours when I couldn't get the piston back in far enough to fit the new pads (Mike at Rentech to the rescue - cheers). Then when I fitted the wheels back on I chipped the calipers I'd just painted as they hadn't hardened enough in the cold air

theres been numerous times i've thought this, fitting my new gear knob, fitting my 172 doorcards, spraying my dash inserts, covering things in carbon. luckily all turned out well in the end, but at the time you think theres no going back and you should never have started

Obviously don't get pissed enough....should still be merry in the morning and ready for 'round two' with the blond in the morning.

Still think I'll leave the calipers though
