Tom,
Having two great mates, one of whom owns a tyre unit with a two post lift and the other who works for the first mate as mechanic helps. Massively. Living half an hour from Carl Grimsley (Mr Mechanical Repairs) also helps as he seems to have this never ending pile of whatever parts you need.....
However, what I have discovered, is that cars are nowhere near as difficult or complex as you think. I've done most of the work on this one myself, other than the cambelt and welding as I don't have either of those skills, yet.. The more you take them apart, the more you see they are relatively simple and not things to be scared of.
Onmly thing that's going to slow me down at the minute is this bloody operation. Not being able to do anything is going to drive me insane, knowing I've a broken Rallye to fix....
