I agree, I think if you love doing it as a hobby, u should keep it to that. I love the internet also, does help my confidence seeing someone on videos doing it step by step, or .  Depends what you mean by that Matt. ;D   Released before you where born young Matt. |

DIYer but been doing it all my life on family and friends cars. I still enjoy it, but mainly because it's as and when I feel like it and when I've had enough I can close the garage and forget it for a while. Especially the Stag!

After 30 years full time in the motor repair trade. 26 years of this has been owning and running my own garages.
I hate cars... Too complex and too expensive to repair.
Customers are now rude and too demanding in the whole.
