Like I said, I just talk to much.... :sad7: I know that you would never deliberately mislead anyone... your frequent and informative posts are a valuable resource for anyone starting out on an ambitious project like this, and it's to your credit that you are willing to give up the CONSIDERABLE time it takes to post them! I am well aware of all that. Your contributions to this forum are invaluable, in my estimation. I just thought that one point needed clarifation... So PLEASE carry on with your very interesting, well-written and entertaining photos and text; it's always fun and valuable information! Hope your brake problems get fixed; that Big O place sounds like a training ground for ham-handed "mechanics...":protest:

No worries Bill.

I agree. There's about 1 guy there who is the boss/ great leader or however its organized who I had assumed was the only guy to touch my car. I sat for two hours on the curb watching every single thing they did, and to my dismay he handed it over to a couple beginner looking people and sat them down to explain that the nuts on the left side of the car spun the other way. It took them a while to understand what he was saying.

It initially took them 3 days to do the job. On day 2 the bossman called me and said he had broken the brake line when the cylinder came free, and that it was his fault and he was having someone bend a new one, he got the new one, and it wasn't correct, so he took it back and got a different one, and then put it all back together, then I drove off the lot and couldnt accelerate from a stoplight and had to bring it back. It's been a miserable experience for a $20 part...
