WTF! - this is sweet.

So, I woke up around 9:00am to put in a new clutch (local shops need the flywheel thats being resurfaced by 10am-12pm). I barely make it home with my smoked-a*s clutch, but I start tearing it apart by 10:00. 1:00pm comes, a collector stud broke and the rest of it is rusted into the header flange, one of the starter mounting tabs was broken, and I was supposed to be at carquest BY 1:00 pm. I got it there at 1:30, got a new starter/set of door locks, then came back and picked up the starter around 2:45. I'd start putting everything back on, but the stud won't ***king come out. It finally comes out, I get to bolting up the trans crossmember and whats going on, oh sweet, the one side where one of the long bolts goes through is rotted out completely. I spent hours riggin up a new hollow piece to go where the rotted one went. Then after I get everything back together, it won't start. That's because they gave me the wrong starter. I return it around 11:50pm, go home, and bolt it up. It won't start now cause the battery's dead. I charge it for a bit, then start it, then stall it cause the new clutch grabs real quick, as apposed to one thats worn into the rivets. Now my car won't charge for some reason, and I leaked a bunch of coolant when I was working on it (it just started leaking today???) so there's air in the system making the temp gauge bounce around and the heater won't defrost long enough to dry my windshield. I can't belive all the sh*t thats ****ed up today on my car, all I wanted to do was make it move, but instead a bunch of stuff broke and cost me a few hundred more than I had (which my badass girlfriend lent me). Sorry about the long story, but I'm pretty pissed about not being able to drive my car after working on it for a good 12 hours. Anybody want to guess whats up with the starting issues? I'm guessing it's something that'll need to be replaced (which will probably cost another $80-100) before I can drive it.
