ajamesc. I would say you have skills which are probably above what most owners have. Not many of us would contemplate stripping a gearbox down and re-building it. Most things I would tackle with my Son but things like fixing a problem he had with his 6 speed box on his Impreza we left to a Subaru specialist.
The other thing which makes a massive difference to what you can do yourself is having a decent sized garage with lights and power.

Would think most people on here are 'built'. For me it is down to time, experiance and tools, I've done quite few jobs on our cars over the years, but basic tools and driveway I know my limits! anything major engine or bodywork, then time to call the professionals.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Today's driveway escapade. Oil and water feeds to turbo all sorted, exhaust system all fully bolted up, started on the replacement hoses and fitted the intake and filter

Looking good!!! Nice intercooler and radiator. It will be a very rapid car when its finished I would think. Fair play for doing it all yourselves outdoors and not in the luxury of a big garage.
