Excellent Jim,
good progress here,
now............these other '5 parts' that will cost the consumer ( or
client - better term ) another 800 to 1,000 US clams.

in interests of Full Disclosure...............what are those 5 parts !!
Might one of them be a 2.0 liter.  4 valves per cylinder,  OHC  Inline
Four Zetec engine ???
a minor part like that ?
smiles.
thanx,
scott

PS. I know you won't take me up on this, but I LOVE marketing and
promoting, i'm very good at it, ( have  decades of experience and
speical training in it from  way back in the 80's in San Francisco by
Business Consultants that charge like  $  3,000 a day to consult  ) -
and I LOVE selling too.
I COULD move kits for you on the West Coast, oh could I ever ! but I
know you won't take me up on it.
