Stuffing a Tesla Drivetrain into a 1981 Honda Accord

I'd love to do a lot more to my car, but I live in an apartment in a crowded part of the city; no garage, no place for tools.

Is there anything like the equivalent of a commissary kitchen, but for cars? Like a garage with tools where I could rent it for a couple of days, and then go work on it with their tools, etc?

Profile says you’re in Seattle. If so, check out The Shop (http://theshopclubs.com). It s a bit more than just a garage to rent, but among the various services it offers to members one of them is the ability to rent their bays with a car lift to work on your car.

I've swapped engines in an apartment complex parking lot. Life finds a way. :)

99% of what you need to work on a car will fit in a large toolbox. It takes experience to weed out the stuff you don't actually need though. Most people make the mistake of thinking they "need" power tools.
