well I thought I would share a mishap with my 914, embaressing as it maybe.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I was installing the engine on a hoist, dropped down the car to align the mounting holes and rear bracket, engine was placed on stands, leveled out and ready to fit in.

I noticed that the engine was not fitting correctley, while I was bumping down the lift, I looked up and saw the front of the car coming off the front lift supports, causing the car to have a very bad tilt, I thought, what the hell is that, walked around to the front of the car and found that the hydrolic jack handle had slip up between the tire and the fender and was starting to push through the top of my fender, which was making the car come off the lift, I said Fu***KI**G D**am sh**i**t AHHHH

I checked back quickly to the rear and saw clear and ready to go, so I started to raise the car to get the jack handle out of there, while the car was lifting and my full attention to the front was in place, I was about 4'-0" in the air and looked back and saw that the engine got tangled up with my tie strap and was coming off the stands, now it was dangeling 3'-0" in the air, the front was not clear yet and now I am about to drop my motor..

before I could reload, it droped and bounced, cracked the rear housing, (replaced it) and I have a punch out dent on top of my fender. I took a break, finshed and went to get drunk in which I had nooo problems doing that..

Oh well, hope this not to boring.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
