Sorry for cursing - but i feel like i have to run this out somthere biggrin.gif

IM ****ING Stupid, totaly ****ing asshole... Yes i am...

Ok, now all the story:

As most of you know - my SSIII was standing without engine and steering gear all the damn summer... I aint had chance to work on her cuz of the amount of works im having latly, and my WIfe was ready to kill me if if was gonna give my spare time to my SSIII (like she calls her - my lover lol)... This was unting this Thursday... Well - desided enouth is enouth... Steering gear problem was fixed 2 weeks ago, i managed to use AT200 steering gear with some rework on the lower subframe, so the biggest issue was solved. Engine came home really quick, and at the evening of thursday the car was almost in one piece biggrin.gif yea right.... First problem - managed to screw up the outer axle screw some how so now i need one end of the axle... After all this more stuff came over me... Finished damn wiring - witch was a nightmare - connected everything up - and once the ignition was turned on - turn signal on the Cluster lighted up, handbrake light was on even that the handbrake was down, lights wasnt working, passenger doors window wasnt moving, turn signals wasnt working and etc etc... In few words - electrical nightmare... I was like - ok slow down relax and start reasembling everyng.. yea i did reasemble everything (and then i mean everything its EVERYTHING from interior...) checked all the wires, fuses, relays everything.... Assembled everythiing back - and the same ****... did all this 3 times, even managed to test all the wires that i made longer... put everything back - the same GOD DAMN problems...

So from thursday night - all i was doing - removing everything - checking every single wire, every single connection, puting everything back and back again to removing...

...... Friday 11.40pm i was still in my garage (started works at 7am)... Wife mad, im - MAD, celica - worthless.... Till i SOME HOW MANAGED TO FIND THAT my ****ing stupid ass managed to find 2 same plugs and mismatch them... Plug from the driver side doors is exactly the same as one of the main wiring plugs that goes to the fuse box... so guess what... switched the plugs places - and everything works like it was from factory biggrin.gif... GOD DAMN HOW HAPPY i am biggrin.gif

Finally my SSIII is coming to the end... Tomorow i will finish up all the smal stuff like windows switches (need to be switched the direction, and places, cuz now the driver side switch operates pass side window and etc), power mirrors, and put all the metal on the car (fenders, hood and all the other stuff biggrin.gif) and then - for some Make over wink.gif Wount be telling that im up to - but you guys can guess already (i promised - some custom bodywork will be done biggrin.gif)

Well - im happy to be back into celica family wink.gif Stay tune for updates and some sneek peek pics biggrin.gif
