4WD or normal car lol

doing the 4WD work has opened my eyes up a lot more to new skill sets and aspects of fabrication, my boss is a structural engineer so ive been able to learn so much more then i already knew just doing car audio and custom work.

hand tool skills are adaptable across any industry.

just a slight change in process and proceedure but with the knowledge and experience u have you would go fine changing field.

you could potentially look at a switch to aeronautical engineering to get more electrical orientation to compliment your current trade and then look at a career with the RAAF (i was offered aeronautical engineering majoring in Avionics with the Navy on helicopters and then after my 6 years going over to RAAF to work on jets).

Oh really. As cool as it would be to work on jets I think I would prefer to stay in the airline side of things. And stay as a mechanical rather than avionics. I like working on the gas turbines to much haha.

Ordered K&N drop in air filter off Amazon - and for ~$57 delivered it's roughly similar in cost as OEM from Mitsubishi.
