Three come to mind:
1. Heater core in my Pontiac Ventura in a parking lot outside my apartment, -20F, and I only owned a few tools at the time.
2. Alternator on my Volvo in the scorching sun outside Harbor Freight. Four hours of buying tools and struggling.
3. Main rear leak on my 2.7 Porsche that dripped badly after a rebuild (it was not line bored). I pulled the engine, put it on a boring mill and opened up the seal OD by 0.005". Then I made a single piece 0.0025" shim and inserted it with the new seal. Never dripped after that.
All huge struggles. All very rewarding in the end. But not during...
Oh, and cramming the Mustang 5.0 into my Volvo 740 wagon. Complete with Ford ECU, and then making everything work, even the tach (which is difficult when the original engine was a diesel.
