+1. This book gave me the confidence and knowledge to work on just about any car...over 30 years ago.

... Always do that and carry the Haynes in the car at all time.

You can skip buying the jack stand and go for this... Best buy after Das Babe.

How much experience do you have working on cars? If that is limited, you may want to enroll in a local adult auto repair program. There is a lot to learn about using tools and safety around cars. Making a mistake on a brake job could be disastrous.

On the other hand if you have the tools and know how to use them go for it.

Even though I had a basic mechanical knowledge I bought an old VW soon after i got my Prosche. I made my mistakes on that before working on my 911.

That's the ticket...
