if you put your mind to it, you can find the resources and trusted people to help you do anything. I am just a regualr guy who thinks he can get things done, im no mechanic or have had any kind of auto fixing experience, but i believe i can do it. it's all instruction in the end, and motivation to fix the car drives me. Anything is possible.Some projects will end up shitting on you, but with no sacrifice there is no success. thanks nicoclub and tt.net and all the damn z websites that have awsome walkthru's with pictures.
