There is so much more to working cars or any electro mechanical thing than the systems of the device. Skills that cannot be conveyed via a book or video. How tight is too tight. How much torque too much when removing a fastener. How to work and do no harm. Troubleshooting is becoming a lost art I see this often in newer wrenches, automotive and HVAC. This kind of project is good for many thugs Planning a days work. Planning the overall project as well as the rehab of each subsystem. How up use tools so as not to hurt yourself. “Hold it this way. Holding it that way means when it slips you stab yourself”
Besides there will be a need for folks that can work on the old stuff. I don’t touch anything newer than a 993 and most of my work is 1980 and earlier. They are stacking up in the paddock.
