i enjoy doing the work myself i find if u r going to own a old ford its better that way i always make a list off what parts i need then when i got them all i go and work on it,a friend of mine spends more time in the garage playing around and 3years later still got his car in bits make yourself a list of what u need and what jobs u going to do and it soon happens i spent 3days in my garage once i drove 1100 mk2 escort in and drove a rs2000 lookalike out with it all done then went to bed lol.its a shame so many give up the other thing is dont take on more than u can do.body work is what i hate doing and if u r new to it do one side at a time.get someone to give u a good kick up the back side ha ha,ebay is full of osf not done and looking a mess dont make yours one off them,your hate yourself if u let that happen.
