Stripped Screws, Broken Pins, and Pure Frustration
Welcome to my cartoon life! Today, we're diving into the distributor of my AW11 MR2. While yesterday we made progress on the control arms, today was all about patience and persistence. From breaking down the components to drilling out a stubborn retainer pin, this project tested my limits. Despite setbacks, like stripped screws and hours spent on step one, I'm reminded that working on older cars often requires grit and resilience.
Stick around for a behind-the-scenes look at how I manage frustration and overcome challenges in the garage. Have you ever faced a project that just wouldn't go your way? Drop a comment below and share your story!
Take care of yourself, and I'll see you tomorrow for another day of wrenching and learning
