You know when you need to do a job and just start picking at it. I knew my slam panel needed changing on the turbo thought id loosen the bolts and get it ready for the actual change.

One bolt,two bolt..chewed bolts..

One hour later

Perhaps should have started it before spa but with a long weekend next weekend,it should give me the time to get it back together.

Suppose part of my traits,scab picker etc cant leave things alone.
You ever started something on the coupe with good intentions?
