I was scared near to death! 

I just knew I must have forgotten to tighten something or put something 
on wrong and that a wheel or the suspension would fall off at any moment 
with catastrophic results.  It wasn't until I had about 200 miles on the 
car that I stopped worrying so much about the car falling apart on me 
and at about 400 miles I was testing the anti sway bars, throwing my TR3 
into sharp mountain corners at speed, punching the DCOEs coming out of 
the corners with a big grin on my face.  I gotta do something about that 
open diff though.
