Do I have the tools? Most. Do I have the aptitude? Mostly. My Dad was a mechanic for a number of years before anything else.and I learned a lot from him.. I generally don't do major stuff due to a lack of patience. I still do all my own minor mods, but full exhausts requiring welds, suspensions and alignments... shops are welcome to do all that.
Do I have the workspace? Hell no. No garage, north-facing driveway that faces a large escarpment (in the distance), so I get the gusts and drifts from the north all the time.
My options? Freeze my nuts clear off or just get the work done. I used to opt for the former but now I'll gladly take the latter.
Not all of us derive joy from bleeding knuckles, brushes with frostbite and sliced fingers / whatever. ;) I've been there on all accounts at some point in the last 10 years.
