I would say YES to this question...anyone can learn but you just have to get your hands dirty and know it may take you an hour or more longer than someone who knows what there doing but hey you did it and you know how to do it again once you've finished you will feel better bout it and your wallet will be fuller=) Tim G 87 gl syncro(166k) |
