Default the camber kit install from HELL

i had quite a weekend. I woke up at about 10 am, and at 11 i was ready to install my camber kit. So i start, take off the strut and everything. Everything is good i get the old camber thing off and go to put it back on again.

When i go to tighten it up the bolt falls down somewhere into the engine bay, never to be seen again. I look for it for about 30 mins then go to ace hardware to get me another nut.

I come back put it on, get everything good and tight. Lower the car and the upper thing that connects to the camber kit hits a piece of metal and my car doesnt go all the way down. So i take everything off and re do it several times. I finally figured out that i didnt put the spacer in the kit.. and i broke them so i went to ace hardware and bought some bolts that were similar. It turns out they were too small, so i had to go back and get bigger ones!
well i finally get the thing put together, and look at the clock. 10 pm!! lol..

atleast the back only took about an hour..

(sorry bout the noob terms, i have no clue what anythign is called )

and yeah, that was my weekend!

^Exactly. Seems like no matter what you're working on, you always stumble onto a few random odds and ends that need doin'
