well i was taking the exhaust off the car today, got the silencer off after coating the bolts etc with wd40 for the past few days. came off a treat, next is to remove the feed pipes back to the gaskets ( wastegate side and turbo outlet) pull them out and clean and re-coat them with aluminium paint rated to above the operating temps that the exhuast will handle. went to take the exhaust bracket off only to find one bugger of a bolt tucked behind so thats still on there.

 

anyway the point of the story...

 

only nearly chopped my damn finger off at the knuckle!!!!!!!!!!! went to help a friend down the road and using one of his tool knifes it unlocked and folded on my knuckle joint and cut all the way into the join, through a tendon and the protective joint capsule.

 

so i had to have an emergeny ooperation to close the capsule, rejoin the tendon and close everything up.

 

so no i cant do anything on the car for a few weeks.. needless to say im not very happy.. at all!!!!
