i did my suspension kit with a forklift haha, beats winding and un winding jacks. the serviceing and general maintenance also teaches you important things like getting to know your way around the engine, which is essential if your going bush, also makes fixing those little things soooo much cheaper, i dont have a whole lotta cash, but i gotta whole lotta room in my head to learn and i have the balls to give anything a go, and i think thats all anyone needs.
personally i have no automotive background, i am an IT technician, mostly always worked in offices or bars, but i love to fix things, and buying old cars give me that outlet, thats what i love most about cars anyway. its ashame they are getting so advanced tho, cos it means that tinkering for someone like me is soon to be a thing of the past.
ill be posting up some more pics next week and a new DIY thread on how to install a pertronix elec ignition kit, cant wait to figure that one outand cant wait to share it with everyone on here
