car repair

Man, if I only had the time....I would take classes in auto repair, plumbing and electrical work. I would love to know how to do this stuff with a more sturdy background.

We have a double garage, but of course every time I clean it out the wife fills it up with something~!

There's plenty of well detailed tutorial of all that stuff on youtube or other internet site, when i've got something to do that i'm not sure about i always do a quick search on my phone and the info is revealed

+1! How do you think I did all these repairs on my car!

I service the Merc, swap the brakes and wotnot. But bigger jobs I get a local garage to do. As the Porsche is modern and worth reasonable money I have to keep the service book stamped up, so I still get bent over for that at specialists.

Oh yeah, I know. I guess my point was it would be nice to have a base of knowledge to draw upon, rather than having to go straight to the tutorial video thing. But yeah, there is a ton of great info out there.

and the right tools (or having a friend you can borrow from) make the job a lot easier (like pedal building)

Biggest job I've done is replacing the CV axles in the Subaru.  Actually turned out easier than I thought

It's pretty much inevitable not to buy the right tools when you start messing with cars!
It's like pedal building. You want to have a good iron for soldering boards and stuff, so you end up buying an expensive soldering station with a desoldering iron too!
