This dude rocks!

I see a similar experience in my future when the 97 needs an overhaul. I am finishing up a body off restore on a 1972 Land Rover and it really gets in your blood, taking everything apart and making it fresh and new again that is.

Even if it takes six months it is worth every minute and extends the life of your car by decades not to mention the vast amount of knowledge to be gained by the experience.

Hey man, back in the 60's we used the grass, couple of 2x12, jack it up, a cinder block under each tire and a few 6 packs. Fixed a lot cars that way.
