First start of the motor you (or somebody else for that matter) is always 
stressful.

My most stressful moment in the TR250 restoration was painting the stripe on 
the hood.  Lots of fiddly work getting the tape right, fear of if you mess 
something up can you fix it or will you have to re-paint the hood.

Most frustrating was fitting those stupid little pegs in the door handle and 
window winder, spent the best part of a hot Saturday in the garage fitting 
them, tried a needle nose vise grips, regular needle nose, tweezers, some 
sort of surgical tool like locking tweezers, very frustrating.
