Yeah, of course you do your own repairs (brilliant)! My dad ran a body shop in our back yard, restoring classics and doing collision repairs. He made the 12-17 year-old me sand and help in the shop, saying “Someday, you might need this to fall back on!” He was exactly right: Those who worked for him and made body-work a career are financially well off today 🙃
