    This reminds me of when I had to work on a 2004 Corsa C. I had to change the engine, replace the head gasket on said replacment engine and deal with all the issues resulting from the engine swap due to differences between the original and replacement engines (both were the Z12XE). Most of the work was documented on my own channel.

    At 60 years old I've got to know a lot of tradesman/ craftsmen/ technicians in my work . I've specialised in bespoke kitchen installs joinery/ carpentry but had to learn electrical installation and gas installation, [ certificated ] that's after a multi skilled apprenticeship starting at 15 years old . Starting early as the schools were repeatedly on strike back then.
    As well as other skills.
    But I can say for sure your probably in the top handful of those people. Being tenacious and determined with the skills.
    Imo .. and that's all it is I'd say even a small garage doing maintenance/ service / repairs ...you'd do very well especially if you could train apprentices.

    I learned mechanics back in 1974 and worked in a garage. I dont like the modern car with all of the sensors and vacuum stuff on them. I prefer hte older type with carbs, coils and points or electrinic ignition. More stuff to go wrong now-a-days and less room to work on an engine under the bonnet. I was a mechanical person and knew nothing avbout electronics side of cars, except for changing bulbs and the simple stuff. lol.
