Ray Jones has perhaps offered the most helpful advice re working on any car - and may I add it is indeed often insightful (that is not what you get when you drink too much Tequila) to read more than one manual on how to do things. Recently removing lower suspension arm on my 71 El Camino saw Chiltons Auto repair Manual offer a most difficult and stressful hard option versus a far easier method suggested in another guide - so having more than one guide can often save grief. The one thing that many repair guides may not offer up is how flammable the underfelt is under our period car's carpet, and how fast the hessian under the leather in our seats is. So never unless no other option use the oxy on seized seat bolts under your front seat edges, and always be wary using an angle grinder near carpet underfelt - often just the sparks are enough to set the underfelt smouldering, then on fire. And then of course is another far more obvious final thought - do not use oxy on rear bumper brackets if gas tank is near, or ideally if still in car !!! And one final one - be aware if grinding welds or rust repairs - metal - , that the material you spray off the grinder can and will stick into any glass it hits - by melting into it if still hot. If bad, the fine metal sprayl can ruin your glass, even if you are able to scrape it off with say a razor, it will leave pits, pock marks - so always make sure no glass in line of grinding, and that also means make sure metal spray cannot hit glass wound down in doors through openings on door or quarter insides !! So there it is - learn what you can before starting, and better still as well, if know someone who has done it before, ask if any tips or clues - like if going to use the oxy to heat something, get someone show you how to set the flame, what tip to use, how to heat the threads without melting them and accidentally making ity harder to undo the nut. And then in a couple of weeks, when you have done a bit, get the video "The Gods must be Crazy" and go to the bit where they are in the middle of nowhere in Africa, and the poor sod is working on the Land Rover under the tree - you will then know what frustration is, that working on difficult things is, can do to you. yours from Australia where I parked two of my 300Cs beside each other ready to swap rear springs, and then went on worked on three other cars instead - all of which likely were more stressfull than doing the spring swap. At least none of them were pommie!!
