Mostly haven't had the time to inspect it yet. Like most jobs that I have whined and complained about for months before doing, I am sure this one is "not that bad" but it's just the timing of everything I guess. Just when I can finally afford to work on my car, I lose my garage and move to a place where working on cars is strictly prohibited. Time is a big issue too. And here in the Bay Area, when you want someone else to work on your car, you either pay brain-surgery rates or have it screwed up so bad you have to eventually do it yourself anyway. Those are the choices.

I need to buy a right-angle drill and some easy-outs. Prolly just do it myself. Just a little scary.

I did notice that Private Party Sale price for my car is $5300... I would prolly do that.
