A good bit of research can be had at Salvage Rebuilds UK YouTube channel. These 2 guys, it used to be their job, but they make more money from the Youtube channel than actually working.
Your looking at the wrong people for backyard beginners!
I disagree, they do show what equipment and skills you need to tackle a rebuild. It should scare off the wannabe guys who want to have a go. Still the same rules apply, you not gonna get a car cheap with an easy fix. What would help if you got a good painter, as its paint cost that writes many cars off.
Take a thorough look at my first post with the initial car in question and tell me what equipment you would needother than a socket set, torx set, some screwdrivers and why you wouldn’t need a paint shop.
