would charge more than using the tools i have in the back of a garage, the same garage the car is parked in. but hey, im dont work in the body work trade. i just thought id have a go. sorry about that.

well there you go. i dont have anything more than an engine stand and some spanners, but ive managed to get on fine with that car so far, and apart from mapping the engine, it will once again all get done on the drive. i take a bit of pride in having a go myself. id rather have a go then just pay people to do it most of the time.
