Subject:Re: My 82 Diesel (DIY vs. Shop Rates)

This past week I sort of mixed the DIY vs Shope Rates when I took my van to my mechanic's (Jeff)
shope and I took 3 days to remove & re-install the dash to put in a new blower motor and heater
core.  It was my first attempt at this and at some critical junctures Jeff was there to help.  I
needed a new Mater Brake Cylindar and it took him about 20 minutes to do that and a new Master
Clutch Cylindar while the dash was out.  Not all mecahnics will let folks do a DIY in their
parking lots, but as Jeff says:  "you tear it apart and then when you can't get it back together,
I'll just charge you double :-) "  This time I got it back together, but with some help from Jeff.
