Default Ever feel like..

nothing can go right? I just wanted to grease my car, thats all, and I would be done with my suspension/steering rebuild. Took nearly 20 minutes to get my junk gun to work, couple pumps, doesnt work, fixed, couple pumps, doesnt work, fixed.... finally get it working and i find out a zerk is junk. Course I dont have any to replace it. Found out the bushing on the LCA is junk. Gun stopped working again so I just gave up. 5 points greased, 3 more problems...

That sucks=/ But hey, at least you know about the LCA bushing now, instead of 500 miles down the road it's flopping around

Its just pretty sad that you cant buy anything without it being junk right out of the bag... what a waste of money and time.

All the time, you finish fixing one problem and then you find another one. just keep pushing through, you'll get done sometime.

I have come to the conclusion that every project I begin is really just the beginning of ANOTHER project.

Nick- You've done a ton of work to that car, and you've come across some crazy issues during that time! Stick with it! You know it'll pay off! By the way, have you been able to test drive the new suspension?

Car is a complete rebuild, just now to the "rolling shell" stage since I put the suspension back on. Give me 10-15 years and I'll let you know..
