1968 VW Karman Ghia - filled the car with several quarts of oil without the drain plug inserted.
1968 Mercury Cougar - Was working on dwell and bleeding brakes. Got the dwell perfect. Dad came to the garage and asked how things were going with the "misfires." Was very impressed with how I got the ignition dialed in, so took him for a ride up and down the street with the brake line disconnected from the proportioning valve. Thank God for E-brakes.
1980 Porsche SC - Didn't realize that the clutch fork pulls instead of pushes. Lines it up wrong. Motor and tranny in and out and then got it right.
We don't learn from doing things right. We learn from making mistakes. Hopefully our mistakes aren't expensive.
