Some projects can simple, like refurbishing plastic chrome trim. Other projects, however, can be more complex like user 275nart's ambitions of turning a Volvo P1800 into a replica of a Ferrari 275 GTB.

I changed the rear wiper arm on my mom's CRV and thought THAT was a lot of work.

Sames.
I always dream of taking on a massive project like this, but then I remember the number of times I've taken a car to a "professional" because of something outside of my wheelhouse.
I'll stick to living vicariously through projects like this one.

Stop dreaming and just jump into the deep end. That is what I did and lived to tell the tale. Experience and skills are the byproduct of swimming with sharks.
What is the absolute worst that could happen? You lose a few grand and know more than you do now. Go for it.
In reply to NOHOME :
Good point. I've definitely thought about just buying a car that doesn't run well/doesn't run and tinkering on it.
Then I remember my lack of driveway, student debt and a wife that wouldn't understand why I would buy a broken car (I'm working on the last one, though).
Someday, for sure.
In reply to Colin Wood :
You have to buy one that works, then you can fix it till it's broke!
But yeah...the driveway thing. THAT is a problem.
