    Ok looking around the yard and seeing the bug in the driveway you're working on, the pan on blocks and the body on another wooden frame. The fact that Jen still talks to you much less married to you, says a lot about how good of a person she is.

    12.10 I bought a rebuilt Bosch starter, put on the shelf, then months later installed only to find didn't work. Took it to a local rebuild shop, needed all new parts, clearly the rebuild was just new poor quality paint. Shop said this been happening since moved to China. So I recommend having a local shop rebuild what you have.
