I have news for you guys that take your cars to "shops". They ALL have done something like this at one point in time or the other.
I've fixed stuff like:
- lamp cord used to wire an MSD box
- short block failed - die grinder'd valve reliefs
- strange brakes installed with brackets on wrong side of car (VERY BAD!)
- multiple gear sets that whined beyond belief
- LOTS of "fabrication"
- LOTS of headgaskets
- replaced "stolen" parts
When your shop gets overwhelmed with work, the "main guy" doesn't get to do all the work and you get a sub-par shop rat who may or may not do the same "quality" work you've become used to. Or, your customer started out on a "BIG" budget and near the end of the project - runs out of money.. and says something like "get it done, I don't care what it looks like". The same reasons I don't open a shop, the same reasons i work by myself.
