I should stop by this forum more often, I had a itch to scratch, or should I say a few bolts to round off. 4 years ago purchased a 1994 RWD manual coupe, and started to restore her, great great fun, spent loads and learnt even more. The reason behind it was so that one day I can do a long range trip in Africa or Asia and having some knowledge would be great. I have learnt so much, and these days with Youtube and manufacturer forums it is very very easy. Issues are to get a lift here, non-existent, so jack stands and a garage it is, I have heard some folks doing the DIY in apartment building car parks too, security guards watching around and all. If you go to www.gulfpetrolheads.com there are DIYers there, but it seems a bit quiet these days. I have started servicing my daily now as well, and find it great to do what was a mystery to me, but do need 2 cars, 1 car taken apart, and the other to get to work and via Al Quoz to pick up spares or tools. The issue with community garage is the cost of rent, to make the business viable, the charges per hour have to be high, unlike elsewhere in the world.
