Default Bad Day!!

Well I got the front off eventually and ha

ving spoken to Chris at Stoneleigh and realising what my problem was fitting the rear screen me and my mate set about it today. It was going really well......

Then BANG!!!!!



My eyes were no more than 6 inches underneath this when it happened!
The bottom line is I did notice a very very very slight craze in the edge of one part of the screen just before fitting. It looked oh so minor but when the cord hit that bit it was a straight BANG!!! How I shut my eyes in time is a miracle, so I spat some glass and dressed my hands and arms. PS This is serious so Im not at all embarrassed to post it. If my mate had been applying pressure to the screen in the same place that he was 10-15 secs earlier Id be in hospital and praying I still had my eyes. Im not exagerating. I spat out glass and my mouth was bleeding. Gents itd be easy for me not to list this post to save build embarrassment but having known a guy that died under his kitcar its worth a mention.Ive been restoring and building cars for 27 years and I wasnt far from losing my sight. IF IT LOOKS WRONG IT IS WRONG Guys.....

Yes thats some of the blood, yes new sticker needed lol....
