That's a complete rebuild and you have quite a good perceptive eye to what you're dealing with.

How can you give such work and be proud of it at all?

You'll never come to a conclusive answer for this, and it's staggeringly mind blowing to those who possess good work ethic.

I've come to realize that most people work jobs they do not actually want to work (usually not by choice), and this is a contributing factor. Addictions, stress, problems in the home, all transpose themselves into work places. Not everyone can put on a happy face and keep their problems at home, and oftentimes this is what happens when "taking a look under the hood." Pun completely intended.

That's just the tip of the iceberg on this topic. I'm 100% sure I could easily rip 2k words on this topic if I kept going...

You would be my first choice for automobile mechanical work with what I've seen from you.

Your blog could easily double as an impressive resume.

Great job man 👍
