Nooooooo just broke the window on my mk1

[Hairball]

Just modifying the gearbox tunnel top hole where gearstick comes through has t5 fitted in my cosworth powered mk1 and i fitted a burton quickshift and the billet bit is larger than the standard shifter so is tight in the tunnel hole. so i had to drill a pilot hole then buy a carbide dremmel burr to enlarge the hole so to avoid vibration through the car from gearbox vibrating on tunnel,so im on the last 2 mm all going well when it snagged and shot out of the dremmel and smashed the passanger side door glass main ,well im gutted but local window fitter i know has got one comming in on thursday for me he says from scotland £85 fitted ,if it can go wrong it happens to me just thought i would share my depression with you all
