Venting:GRAHHHHH

Spent all day on the car(parking brakes, front bumper trim, turbo oil drain, 2xbrakelight mod, oil change to synthetic 5-40, new ground cable) Good so far.

I pull the dash to remove vacuum system and prop open the center/floor vents. I get most of the stuff out, and manage to rig the vents into the positions I want. During the reassembly attempt I managed to unseat the center vent's boot, the passenger vent tube completely, offset the defroster, and I still can't get the @#(%*^!!! dash to go up under the windshield seal

I've given up for tonight, I'll tackle it tomorrow when I'm less likely to use a chainsaw.

Yep, it certainly comes out easier than it goes in, eh?

the difference between perfection and disaster is knowing when to walk away.

I know those long days and those unrealistic goals we usually set for ourselves about how much we can get done in a day.

you'll win the battle with a good nights sleep and some strategery.

Better to walk away then to live with the aftermath of the chainsaw line of thinking!
TGIF everybody.
