yep yep. ive never looked at ANY care as "impossible". i have always figured that with the right amount of time, skill and money anything can be fixed. of course we dont all have that, and that is where determination comes in. someone had it as metal sheets and metal tubing before anything was evern thought of. why cant u put it back together if it falls apart?
