The Official "How Not To" Thread

Me too. I should have just fixed what was wrong with it and started driving it. Instead, I have parts scattered all over hell and back and I haven't driven it in over 20 years. Huge mistake!
Exactly what I did I blew up my slant six in 2004 and instead of just replacing it and being done I decided I'd "restore" it. Well 16 years later I'm finally starting to get it back together with tons of pieces missing and damaged from storage and not to mention I cant remember where most of it went Haha. The bags the bolts are in are deterated and falling apart the bolts are all mixed up the sharpie I wrote on the bags is long gone i have no idea where have of them go lol
