My guess is that most people here have done these things - except painting, alignment, and tire mounting. These things are impractical to do at home. Rebuilding an engine ain't too practical either. I've done it but I cheated.. It was a Mazda rotary engine which can be easily done on a workbench. Some people will try painting at home but they tend to be just bonkers.
