    So, here are my suggestions:

    1. Full suspension rebuild. Spring swaps, strut/shock swaps, control arms (show an M20 car since it looks like less space than an M42 car) trailing arm bushings, subframe bushings, the whole enchilada, just one bite at a time.

    2. Timing belt, including valve adjustment, water pump, tensioner, etc.

    3.Motor/tranny R&R, including clutch install.

    Try and keep in mind that a total newb who has never turned a wrench just might need to rely on your instructions, so do your damndest to explain the hell out of everything.

    A complete tool list, with a list of "options" would be nice, too.

    Then put it together and sell it.

    Even something as basic as using a wobbly socket can be really tough for a newb...remember that shit? Pissed me off bad, but I was like 10 or 12, wrenching on Dads Karmann Ghia.

    Do you have someone else to take the pics?

    It is tough to cover the basics, getting the point accross can be just about impossible especially when its a "feels like this" thing.

    I am going to replace an engine in a convertable at the shop next week...

    I'll Probably take my camera I will be doing just about everything ...T-belt... valve adj clutch...

    Possible several "write ups" could be illustrated. then I'll go from there.

    For me? Nothing, I like it all.

    It reminds me of the r6 forum I used to be a mod on. Bunch of assholes and gay jokes.
