Much respect for a job well done. Paying some garage a lot of $$ to get the work done is easy & quick, but will get you annoyed at the end of the day, irritated over the things that are NOT okay on your car. Doing the job yourself makes you happy for the things that ARE okay. It makes you appreciate it more, knowing the labout, time, effort, work and amount of mistakes that went into it (I remember breaking of the bolt torking the upper control arm a BIT too much every time I look at it...). I am totally not a grease-monkey like some of these guys here (far from it). But finishing a certain part of your resto, however small, takes another task of the list. And makes that evening drive more satisfying. Makes you feel like you deserved it. And by the looks of it, you did! Well done.
