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
