Some days the continuous challenges of trying to complete TCST test my patience and endurance!


Today was one of those days :headbanger: . I have given up on any kind of completion date/schedule etc. as around every corner is another struggle. 



Thanks for the kind words that some of you provide as they help me keep up the fight!

Keep fighting but can you explain what TCST is?

Google says Trauma and Crime Scene technician, which yeah sounds continually trying

 

edit: shouldn't have been googling, it's very much not this.

Lotus didn't even put fuel injection on the turbo Esprits until like halfway through the run!

Rob Siegel wrote a book about his Lotus Twin Cam Special struggles, partly as therapy, I think...

For those that haven't followed, here is the TCST build thread.

It is certainly worth reading.

@Turbofource there are some good fabricators on here, but you're easily one of the best. 

I think if it wasn't a crazy/cool challenge you wouldn't be doing it in the first place =)
