Gosh Ryan, sounds like a typical day at the garage ..Some one recently 
(i wanted to replace the back bushing in the tranny) told me to .Oh just 
drop the back carrier and drop the engine to let the back slide 
off........YEH!!! I might as well removed the tranny .. after 3 hours I 
finnally pulled the exaust and water lines and almost took the engine 
mounts off..  Now I've changed the bushing and now have to have the bush 
bored to let the drive shaft fit.    Oh yeh bought a new luggage 
carrier, started to install it and none of the holes lined up in the 
lid,, thats ok I says and ,, the guy who made it must have NEVER been 
around a trunk lid of an Alpine before..
Goes on andon and on and on >>>>>>>>>>>>(  Just wait till I get my upper 
ball joints here!!!
cheers
and don't get in such a hurry from now on!
