Major modifications is that.... Major..... I would think replacing a rear cross member with same dimensions but 2mm thicker would not be major tbh. The goal is to make it last not change the job/function.
I have a 43 year old vehicle and had the chassis fixed and front section replaced. The...

Stick it on eBay and keep the address well hidden...and you will get what its...

The degree and education will REALLY help if you need a loan/credit facilities/mortgage for when you go into business if you wanted.
Your time doing any education such as A levels was not and will not be wasted. You wouldnt be doing the degree without A levels..... the degree and A levels will cover you for the future, maybe 20 years later...
