I have always enjoyed being a DIY mechanic, but the body is starting to let me down.
Luckily enough I have a nephew who, like me, enjoys the time he puts into working on cars.
We have an unspoken pact whereby I diagnose and direct and he uses what we call 'spider fingers' to get the job done.
Its a win/win as he has no idea where to start and I have restricted ability to get it finished.
I can remember a time when I lifted a headless 1760cc 4cyl from a Torana engine bay with a rope and bare hands, sadly those days are memories.
It probably contributed to my current back trouble, but in the heat of battle you don't consider the future.

What sucks is that I'm only 35.
