It's always been more satisfying for me to gain the knowledge and buy the tools than to have to say "yeah, Joe Blow did that for me". Disc brakes weren't original, but I do like stopping versus body work!

It's amazing what we can do with the info found on the net isn't it! I changed the hard drive in the MAC I am on right now. I had never done anything like that, NEVER, never even opened up a computer before, swapped out the hard drive on my dining table.
