I dont even know where to begin... How about:
1.) Body work with more waves than a parade.
2.) Buying any thing other than an old pontiac...
3.) Trying to restore a Porsche with the belief that wiring, carburetion, engine blocks and cooling are all basically the same as American cars.... Uh I still cant figure out 6 accelerator pumps, split blocks and exhaust mounted heat exchangers....
4.) Forgetting the o ring in the font of the intake manifold and stating the car.
5.) Priming a car and waiting... Then adjusting rocker arms and bumping the motor.. Only to discover oil shoots a remarkable distance.
6.) Spending 2 hours of my life fishing a dropped lifter out of an oil sump with a magnet, coat hanger and patience.
7.) Working all day, falling asleep under the car and waking up startled, only to bash your forehead on an oil pan...

At least you can laugh about it...
