Failed ProjectsYou start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

1stThere was the project to put a Cosworth lump into my old Mk1 Escort
I started in 1999 with the intention of taking a couple of months to complete the project.
The Escort now sits with no engine slowly rusting away.
The failure was down to the clutch cable fouling on the bulkhead.

Don't let it rust too much!That shell must be worth a bit if you get rid of the rust

Oh yesIt's worth considerably more now than what I paid for it as a complete car. At least once a month someone stops by to ask if its for sale.
Going to clear out the garage and get it stored away so it doesn't have to spend another winter outside.
