Whenever I have an apprentice or co worker at work who complains about work I tell them the same thing every time. To **** off, because there is always some poor bugger that would do anything to work and be able to make money. I think it would be the same here, if they don' wanto be doing the work or a good job, there would be a million guys who would love to be in their position
I've read a few of your bits on here, I'd happily let you work on my car.
Thanks for the comments, and yes i think everything happens for a reason and that reason is to make me do all the work myself. I'm loving every minute of it!

It's rare that you find someone who cares as much as you do or has the passion for the hobby to ONLY do things the right way. I also find that even talking to other enthusiasts - some of them have different levels of expectations and accept some pretty shoddy work; then turn around and recommend "their" shop to others. I do almost all of my own work - minus paint, tire mounting and alignments...and for those, I have sources that I like.
Keep doing it yourself, it's very gratifying!
