I think I may be losing it!!!!

I started making a severely chopped down injection system today, hack sawed the plenum chamber (quite accurately for a hack saw). I wanted to square off the cuts with a drill sharpened to 0 degrees, but the stop on my piller drill is only accurate to the nearest 5mm (£40 B&Q). So I made up an audible stop, using a 9mm spanner, an exhaust clamp (used), this turned out to be really accurate and did the job a treat.

The silly thing is that the engineer on our industrial estate would have skimmed it for a pint of Butcombe, I think this locost bit is starting to take over.

I have spent £800 so far and only need the seats, 3 sheets of ally,prop and rear lights to finish all bar clips and paint.

Think I need to get a grip!!

PS I would not like to do a cylinder head with it though! Rescued attachment Skim.JPG

Shows a certain degree of competance being able to do these things yourself though. Satisfying?! Or not worth the effort?
