I hope to have the engine removed from the car, maybe for shipment to a repair center. My regular mechanic's son is a good wrench, I'm sure he'd look at it. However, I saved the Excellence magazine with the M96 article and the people working on it's various problems have made it clear the repairs require someone with special training. I'm not sure a great regular mechanic is up to the task.

I can't get under it anymore and use any of my skills which is tough to accept, tougher yet is sliding the Fiat to my brother after I rebuilt it in better physical times.

PS I used to work in the pain "injection room" I was the one in the lead apron riding the C arm fluoroscope...That type of therapy wont restore my legs.. I have fractures back there too, it's essentially a badly played game of jenga at this point but I'm alive!!!
