Incredible work mate, the car looks like a million dollars, you should be very proud of your work. I've read your advice for future restorers, thatks, it will come in handy when I star work on my 78MGB, I really hope my car ends up close to what you achived. Congrats on your beautiful car.

@alexQw33 Thank your your kind comment, it is twenty years since I started restoring the Vitesse, and it got another "best Classic Car" award this year, I hope your restoration goes well.

how much mechanical knowledge do you need to restore a car?

[megasuggs]

@kwozemodo Quite a lot really, but it is a slow process, so it is possible to learn about each part from books, asking advice or from the internet as you go along, take photographs and video of each part to help to put it back together again. I put all the nuts, bolts and small parts from each part that I removed in plastic bags with lables, to help me.

@megasuggs Thats true, but on the other hand I started restoring A 1923 fiat when I was 15 and had no mechanical knowledge at all, now that its drivable again I know basically everything about the car!
