Hello logan2z,
I was in your shoes just over a year ago. I have since been able to take care almost everything done to my car so far, this is what I have accomplished in my first year.
*Euro look conversion includes installing H-4's, J. West headlights relay, new bumper guards, tail lights covers, side view mirrors.
*Momo steering wheel and shift knob
*Full tune up, fuel filter, Alternator belt, air filter, oil filter, spark plugs, magnecor wires.
*Front spoiler
*Battery ground, starter ground.
*Front bumper new inserts and clips.
*SW dme chip.
*Installing front strut brace.
*Oil cooler air scoop.
*Detailing the car inside out, including removing seats, removing alternator for bench testing, polishing alternator and housing.
None of these are very complicated nor mechanical, but it is with little things like these where you should start so you can build confidence. I have also failed some projects, replacing wheel bearings for example, I had no confidence in my abilities at the time. I'm learning everyday, the search button is your BEST FRIEND here. Also buy a Bentley manual.
My next project is valve adjustment, and I'm considering seriously SSI's and sport muffler.
Most important thing, pick a good car, that's probably the hardest.
