Mechanic round the corner trying to salvage a sh***er, asked if I could try and weld the gearbox as the lugs for bolting have all cracked off.
“yeah, no worries - Just dismantle it and give it a proper clean before you bring it round to me.”
“It’s a really awkward job to remove it, can’t you just weld it where it is?”
So I told him he’s getting charged for my time whether it works out or not. “Okay, no worries - btw can you also fix this mounting bracket for me too?”
what he didn’t tell me was that the mounting bracket in his hand was going to be BOLTED BACK IN, IN THE BLOODY ROAD OF ANY ATTEMPTS AT WELDING ANYTHING.
called him. “You’ve stuck half the effing car in the way of me welding this.”
“Yeah, just unbolt it all mate, no worries.”
“I’m going home for some food. I’m going to continue charging you once I come back to the workshop. I suggest you nip down here with your tools ASAP.”
