Not a new topic, by any means. Still looking for someone willing to come to Taiwan for a couple of months to assemble my car. I am not listing conditions and such anymore. I am open to any offers and suggestions. I know it won't be cheap.
Hope that maybe new members might be in a position to consider such a venture?

No, it was/is my hands, my skill sets.. The head knows it all, but won't wait for the hands to keep up, catch up. So I cut myself, bump, wound, scratch, trying to avoid worse. Nothing gets built without a few proper bleed-outs. Once I had to go to the ER 3 times in 2 weeks with a wood splinter in my eye. The doctor literally asked me whether I had some attention-affliction, doing this to myself on purpose. He could not believe it actually happened 3 times by accident. Then there were a series of strokes this year, meaning my DIY days are clearly over. But, like I said, I am hopeful that this new guy is the man. Only 5KM from my house, that would be excellent. I'll know more later.
