yea i am a mechanic so it does help but tbh its all like general knowledge and learning by doing

ah ok well its good to take pics as you go to see the progress that your making and for others to see and get their views as it always helps if you get stuck on what to do

i have been thinking about selling my corsa lately as i have another car i want lol

if you get hands on with your car mate it will help you big time and if you do lil jobs like brakes, oil change ect for people make a bit of money on the side would help you aswell and build you confidence aswell

i look forward to seeing it mate and help you out with ideas :)

yea im in 2 minds atm as there are a couple things i want to do to it before and the car i want is a convertable bmw e30 318is :) so not really ideal for this weather but if i was so sell it soon would want about £1k ono
