Joe,
I thank you so much for upfront honesty. You're right, I'm not under estimating this job, I know it's huge. Time is on my side, but, as you said, ability, experience and available tools are huge factors as well. I will heed your adviced , and seek the help of my mechanic . I spent a lot of time reading the Forum, on different subjects and this helps a lot . I even read issues and their solutions,even before it happens. I have trouble shoot issues and have fixed them. Issues like Brake force regulator, brakes in general, fluid lines, ignition, etc... To name a few. I could not have done things if it were not for this forum. This gives me the confidence, because I know I can seek help from this group. I'll come back to this issue after I come back in several months. For now, I'll prepare my sl for storage. On going suggestions or advices are more than welcome.
Thanks again.
Dan
