I don't fault the original poster for asking the question. So he needs to be credited for at least not just diving in to the project. And, when those of us replied he was accepting and polite about our cautions. What caused me to respond the way I did was the way he stated the question, sounding like is was a causal conversation amongst his friend. And that clued me to believe there was limited knowledge of everything involved.
A few years back I wrote up the posts "So, you want to build a Turbo Pinto Part 1 and Part 2." I did so because I wanted to relate my own experience. I'm not a professional mechanic. I guess if I had to put a label on myself I'd be an "Advanced Backyard Mechanic." I've rebuilt engines, transmissions, swapped major components, replaced body panel etc.. But, a lot of these tasks I've only done a handful of times, sometimes only once. I also have a fair complement of tools (60 gallon compressor, MIG welder,significant power tools and a multitude of hand tools).
Regardless, when I wrote my Turbo Pinto posting I stated, "On paper it looks like 2 on a scale of 10. In reality it is a hard 7." And I said that coming from the experience of having owned the Turbo Coupe donor car for 10 years as my daily driver. I still hold to that today.
So, yes, sometimes I think we have to be a bit blunt to capture the perspective builders attention regarding just what it is they are proposing to get into. And, again, I thank the original poster for accepting my statement, "I mean this politely even if it doesn't come across as such, "If you have to ask..., you shouldn't go there" at its face value that I was not trying to insult, but rather caution him. And, he seemed intelligent enough to know his own limitations.
