Yes mate. All by myself.
Thing is that if friends help and they brake something or grind too much of, I'm pissed and can't do anything about it. So I do it myself and if I make a mistake, I can only be pissed about myself (till now, I have not done one
)
But if needed I get a second pair of helping hands...
And it's now 10 years that I own and work on this particular model. So I know it in and out. I have no plan for demounting or remounting. Everything in my head
But I agree, it's a guargantum task, a bit overwhelming at times, but one step at a time, and then at the end you've gone the whole way ...
But I also need to note, that I have never gone to this lenghts with a car. Never done this kind of work. Especially a whole car. So for a first timer, I think it's not bad.
But the car will go into my cousin garage or Germany to get rid of the rust by high pressure air sanding, take the front and rear windows out and all the mounting holes will be replaced by them. And painting I have a guy that does it for me. On the remounting, some parts need to be done in the shop as I lack some material and it's too expensive to get for the few times I need it.
So not entirely alone.
On remount, all screws will be replaced with new one, nearly all broken parts will be replaced (or repaired, like the Xenon, which is too expensive for one broken mount). If it all goes to 95% of the plan, the car will be better than on delivery
