id rather pay a professional to do it and get a proper job done. i could probably do most things myself, apart from spraying.

everything except bodywork/spraying. I spray small parts with cans though, i've just done my interior and it came up really nice. I wouldn't want to attempt spraying panels or kits without the proper tools and equipment though

on my old corsa i fitted most things myself, or my mates did stuff for me so nothing was done professionally on the bodywork or electrics not even the smooth boot.

only the exhaust and solenoid for smooth boot did i pay any professional to do it

u save so much these days as labour is expensive
only thi
