Helllll NO. I dipped that rascal and let "better living through chemistry" take care of all that junk. But splitting seams to scrub out dip solution and hunting down potential future chemical time bombs is pretty fun.
Hmmm...OK how about this one. Laying upside down in my 911 with my head under the dash, drilling the steering column bolts out. 100 degree heat plus full protective clothing, two rusty studs digging into my back, and choking on fumes from spraying lubricant on the drill bit every 10 seconds?
Why oh why didn't I buy a Honda Civic and slap some lowering springs and stickers on it instead...
