Couldnt you try tackling some of those jobs yourself?

Save loads of money on labour and learn so much too.

Things like the brakes/exhaust/bushes etc are not that hard to do as long as you have some tools and maybe some sound advice
(which you will find on here)

Good luck!

hi

i would love to be able to do jobs on the car myself but every time i do something it never goes right and it really knocks my confidence to try anything else so it puts me right off.

Alright bud. If you're willing to travel I'd do the suspension and brakes for you. I'm in Kilmarnock. If you've not bought the brakes yet I also have a set of standard rear pads that you can have for a tenner.

You have pm btw.

Do you have a garage dude?

I'd be willing to give you a hand-i'm in Hamilton, so just down the road.

some of the jobs are easy enough (balljoints etc, mid and rear section of exhaust)

for the other ones, you would probably need a garage as the car will be immobile, and you dont want it lying in bits on the road. :D

you can PM me details if you need anything/ info etc.

cheers
