Good job mate- full of praise! Very brave...reminds of when I was a student- was very poor and used to go to the library and research all the jobs I had to do before getting down to it on my own. Gearbox swap, head skimmed, new valves, guides and followers, all the body work, deseamed all joins and took off all exteria handles locks and put remote openers in!!!!! I got addicted then and have been ever since.
Love what you did and like the rest- you could have a great future doing just what your doing if you work it right.
Dont tell your parents I said- often they plan bigger things than car work!
