Good suggestion, though I do technical/engineering work with
what I think is inordinate preparation and care, plus
knowing me, I'd probably want to repeat the procedure a few
times to master it (more or less). None of that "See it, do
it, teach it" bull**** from medicine for me and my beloved
Honda. ;-) So the rental fees might add up to the cost of
purchasing one. I will look for well cared for used ones,
perhaps. I should probably find myself a shell first.
No doubt I will have a long re****t on this if and when it
happens. So far it remains only a dream. Fact is re****ts
here show I have been contemplating replacing (one way or
another) my 91 Civic for something like five years or more.
Love the engine; annoyed with the body etc. rust. :-)
