Let's see where to begin...

Replacing rusted-through brake lines with pre-bent factory parts. The Jeep needed to be 6 feet in the air.

Replacing rusted-through brake lines on a F150.

E90 oil pan gasket

Clutches on two (2) BMWs

Timing case cover gaskets on an M44; need to have the car 3 feet off the ground to use the special tool to hold the crank to get the harmonic balancer off the crankshaft to get the timing case off

E90 t-stat

E90 water pump

E90 driveshaft replacement

E90 rear bearing replacement

E90 front bearing replacement

E90 suspension refresh... twice

Brakes... brakes... brakes

40 some odd oil changes

E90 T-stat hose bib replacement - just yesterday

All comfortably standing on 2 feet. (i.e. no medical bills)

And that's not the half of it.
