I work on my own, but I've never done anything really difficult to it.

I do everything unless I am limited to tools/lift/welder. Friends have helped me wrench on my cars in the past, but I usually end up helping them out 10 to 1. I don't mind doing so either, it's what I love to do.

nobody touches my car except me and friends that help me and my body guy who does my body work cuz i cant. but if its an engine part or whatever i do it. DIY is fun. being in the garage with friends is what life is all about.

anybody need help with car stuff, im willing to help. i love helping people especially with cars. im at 7thgencivic.com and help those 7thgencivic owners sometimes.

I did mechanic work for 8yrs or lil over that.. I wont send my car to a shop unless it was a turbo rotary for tuning.Thats about it..

At my job I have a lift,spray booth,plasma cutter,wirefeed/stick welders.. And alot of more shit to fabricate shit.It will be fun..

Me and my friends do what we can. We did all of my bolt on's. When I have a dedicated project car, I will at least try to do everything myself slowly.
