Unless you rebuild an engine for one, then the person who fits the engine gets the pipes from the radiator fitted the wrong way around.

The result, about forty hours of work wasted and all because the person who fitted this engine knew best, after it was not only cooked, but run to destruction with zero mechanical sympathy.

Sadly a car which had been a solid base for a really good rebuild, ie the best original bodywork I'd seen on an MGF was systematically ruined by an individual who's aspirations far outstripped his abilities.

Come to think of it, I've never seen this man finish anything yet, I've seen an awful lot of partial failures, but never a finished article.

Never mind, at least I don't have anything to do with this individual any longer
