Pain in the ass

So I did my first window motor on an f-body. Cut hands, fingers, alot of cursing and a few bottles of beer later, let's just say I don't wanna do that again for a long long time.

I think it was so hard cuz I was doing it alone, and the screws that came with the motor were too short so I had to go and find some longer ones...which inevitably were too long on one side so I had to improvise.
