Self Car Repair
I bought a Ford Capri about 5 years ago from someone as it was Rotting on their Drive. I got it home and set about the next few weeks getting bits and peices for an MOT but managed to loose the keys so naturally I just buy a new set of locks for the car.

With a bit of savy I get the car open and replace the Door and Boot locks no problem but the steering lock is not designed to come off at all not even with special screw attachments. So since this was two peices of metal que small hacksaw which i used as much as I could in the samll space then started with a large hammer and metalwork chisel and they get bigger and biger and the whole I make gets bigger.

By this time im upsidown feet in the air over the gap inbetween the drivers and passengers seat shoulders on the floor and head in weird position in drivers foot well, The steering lock is pretty loose and one or 2 more firm smacks with have it free but have to adjust the hammer and chisel into a newly awkward position. One big hit and OUCH that hurt not to bad but i had caught my thumb with the hammer of so I thought. Hit again and then notice that there is lots of red stuff pouring out managed to slice through the side of my thumb through the knuckle :S Felt rather faint and a bit off and doing what all late teen boys would wondered back into the house and shouted "Mum, Look what I did".....
