I dont think there is much money to be made in the sort of stuff I do TBH mate, its all too time consuming and low value, well other than mapping I guess which potentially I could make a few quid at.
For now I have a couple of reasonably well paid jobs, main one is 4 days a week as an IT consultant for lexus and toyota and then a part-time job as a freelance motoring journalist for the rest of my time. So certainly for now it makes more sense as a hobby, maybe one day, but TBH I think that having to do what the customer wants rather than what I want to do would just piss me off
Me and a lot of my mates all help each other out though which is cool, like for example Adam who made welded up the inlet for me FOC has a corsa on DTA that he needs mapping soon which I'll do free for him etc.
