mate i agree, but what people on here dont see is how long i spend on things experimenting till i get them done right, u learn as u go along. if u fuck it up - so what! let a bodyshop finish it off

ive weldeddoor handles up, cut bonnets and bumpers up, ripped full dash's out etc, yes ive made mistakes, but i get there in the end
