Camo,
We all started somewhere with these cars. You've got a real good and easy one to work on to start with. Timing belt failure is not catastrophic in your model year. Use the search function here and on the other forums. Read as much as you can BEFORE you order parts or began the timing belt job (Hint: it can save lots and lots of money) If you do not use a Porkensioner, you will need at least a Kempf tool to correctly tension your new timing belt. You can probably borrow one from someone close to you since you'll need it for less than a hour total.

When you finish, you will wonder why you even thought of paying someone else to do this job.

Good Luck.
