Show me one person who's never made an "Oops" doing auto work, and I'll show you someone who's never done any auto work.
Probably the biggest "Oops" I saw (the guy took a picture and posted it, but I don't rememebr where it was) was a guy on the Ford site I frequent...he was welding a sending unit for an EGT gauge into his exhaust pipe. He had just gotten the weld nice and perfect and clean when he realized that the flange (the moving part with the bolt holes to go onto the next piece) was on the wrong side of the sending unit. He had to pull it out and start over again.
Then there was the guy who was putting Herculiner on the rocker panels of his Ford Explorer...no gloves and then nature called...I think there were over 1,000 posts on that thread makin' fun of him...he was a good sport about it but I still felt for him...
Mistakes I've made? I
know they exist but I can't think offhand of what any are...no I'm not being pompous
