I had alot of stuff done at eastside... but I'm now doing as much of it as I can as you know... only way I can continue to more forward. Having everything done at this point, I'd never get it finished.
Figure anywhere you go labor will be $75 an hour or more, my time, is just that time. I can buy parts, and even if it takes me a week to do what could be done in a day.... my time was free. I have the garage, tool collection is ever growing.. but as long as I'm using it I don't see them as a waste.
Nice quote too by the way

I do about 1/2 to 3/4 of the work myself, now I'm working on paint, though I'm not the best painter in the world, I'm going to get at it this spring to see if I can get it done!

I did the easy stuff myself. Nitrous, plugs, etc. I just recently got interested in cars, and my parents couldn't give 2 ***** about them. The tools that we have aren't ideal for doing automotive work. The exhaust stuff I had done at Harris, and have used JS Performance for everything else.

im the same way, if i can't do it myself it probably isnt something i want to get involved in. my best investments have been in tools/ equipment and training but ive been told im slightly mechanically inclined

Its more than i care to think about, it takes the fun out of driving the car.Mash the right pedal and all that bad not doing the right thing with your money goes away.
If i lived in a carboard box and had a 30 thousand dollar car then i admit i could have issues to deal with.
I refuse to grow up
