Effing thing. 3 hours in all.

Ferrule decided that it did not want to come out. Then my drill battery went flat. So had lunch whilst it charged.

Several broken drill bits later it's out *frown*

I was planning on getting everything ready for the first start next weekend, but we're still miles away.

Back to the grind.

Well, got as far as the alternator and the belt is the wrong size for the 998 so that's it for today.

Some days things just go great and then others are crap.

The grumpy old git is showing his age. I'm sure there are others with much bigger problems.

Hi,
Any problem that halts progress is a big problem when you're trying to get the job done!
Cheers,
