Default damn rex........

so i started a project this weekend expecting to get it done the first day if not the second early on. well it started a little like this, i have a replacement motor in my garage so i was going to swap that in also new suspension. so i planned on getting it done really quick. but no it all turns to hell with this 18 year old car (88 crx). first once i start to take all the hoses off, i realize that they are all so old that they arent coming off. so i end up having to cut most of them off because they were so sun rotted. then once i started tyring to take the clips off i go to pull the engine wire harness out and it literally rips off. so i call my buddy and get his old wiring harness. then once i get all that bs out of there. i start on the more mechanical side and start taking axles out and what not. well sure enough the cv boots break in half on both sides. so then i have to rebuild those. then i finally got the motor out on sunday afternoon. from there i am starting to get a little worried its just hitting about 3 in the afternoon, and i havent even started the other motor. and just to put the pressure on i have to drive that to work at 7 in the morning. so then as we start putting the motor in with a cherry picker on my own. not the funnest thing if you have ever tried you would know. then as we start getting the motor in its about 11 at night cause i had to go through and pull of all of the hoses and what not. we finally get the motor in after a now broken cherry picker. doesnt want to go up or down anymore. so we are rushing to get it together and the next thing i know the sun is rising and we still have a few hours of work. so at this point i decided to give it a rest and get ready for work. i ask all of my roomates for a ride and no one will. hmm well screw them. so i finally got my dads old car and drove to work now i have more not done car at home to attend to tonight.

rant over.....
