I'm so intrigued by these car repair threads, Jocke. Keep them coming.

Agreed, most of the repairs I've seen Jocke do, the cars are very rusty. BTW, I also love the repair threads keep them coming.

I suspect the Orange growers in Tulare County would appreciate some nice, steady Nordic rain though!

If my car ever needs work, I'm thinking of shipping it to you to fix, once it's out of warranty, of course.

It'd be cheaper than having some jack-leg here screw it up, or worse, just pick a part at random to replace and send me the bill. It's happened.
