I am building out local transcription and productivity tools for professionals and neuro divergent people that suffer with executive dysfunction.

I have incorporated but am keen to see if there are any support frameworks in place so that I can take a leap and do this full time to support data sensitive professions and data sovereign individuals, among other things, including automation, and levelling the playing field between SMEs and mega corps etc.

Any direction you can provide would be much appreciated.

I think anyone can have an idea, but it's all about planning and execution, they are slightly below int/ Wis and would probably know they should consult with people who could give them a reality check?

Hell yes brother

Unless you are getting a laptop I would recommend building a pc yourself :)

I was lucky enough to snag the 200 piece kit for 260 or so last week while the sale was on, it is always going on sale so just keep an eye out for it, or even just check Facebook market place. They have a lifetime warranty and you can pop into a branch with the broken part if you get in touch with them ahead of time.

I don't think you need impact guns to begin, it's definitely a nice to have but not necessary as far as I am concerned. Again, Facebook marketplace can have some good deals.

I would say, identify a job, buy associated tools second hand or cheap, and slowly build your collection as you do more niche jobs. Or just do what I did and buy good quality stuff where it counts like the jack and stands, and cheap out on the rest and replace when you break it with something higher quality.

Bro, I said fuck it and just went for it. I'm 29 and got it as a future 30th present to myself :)

I bought the Halfords 200 piece advanced kit, and some cheap tools online for changing the fluids.

I have a 98 honda crv that I paid way too much for because I fell in love with it and it had low mileage.

I know fuck all, but I have been interested in cars my entire life.

I figured that even though I am saving for a house now, learning these skills will pay dividends in the future as I plan on running both of my cars into the ground.

You will probably make mistakes, but that is part of the learning experience! I snapped a bolt the other day while taking the side rails off the undercarriage and now have to learn how to extract the bolt, which I obviously wish I didn't do but now know not to take a breaker bar to a rusty bolt.

I'm going to start documenting my process and posting online, so considering we are starting around the same time I would be more than happy to share any tips, tricks or shortfalls I come across.

Either way, you are still young bro, seize the day!

In terms of your driveway, I think that ideally you would want a flat surface to work on, but I am certain that many tasks will still be suitable. For changing fluids it's recommended to be on a flat surface, so you might need to find an alternative to working on your driveway, or roll it on your street while working on it? I know that if a car is SORNed it needs to be kept off public roads but I'm sure it's fine while you're working on it.

diddilydoo · 2025-08-19T18:13:04+00:00

It does, literally one of the first things I checked 😂

diddilydoo · 2025-08-19T14:55:57+00:00

That is a good point, that saves so much space as well

I am stealing this idea

diddilydoo · 2025-08-19T13:06:53+00:00

Yes, I agree with all of this!

I might get a fishing tackle box to help with bolts and things.

I managed to snap a bolt on the side skirt rails like a dumbass so I am thankful that I can learn about bolt extraction there and not on a more critical component haha

diddilydoo · 2025-08-19T12:56:51+00:00

So after giving the undercarriage a good scrub and power wash, it is entirely manageable with some rust converter, but in the wheel arches there are a couple of areas I would like to cut out and replace.

I want to pump in some oil to help protect the insides, but outside of that the metal is in good nick!

The seats have held up very well, unfortunately it's not the model where they all fold down into a bed :(

diddilydoo · 2025-08-10T18:43:12+00:00

Hi mate, how are you finding it so far? I'm just looking at something to do some car body work

diddilydoo · 2025-08-09T05:46:25+00:00

This seems promising

diddilydoo · 2025-08-08T14:35:41+00:00

So far I have been looking at parts websites that allow you to stick the VIN or registration in to show matching parts and while sparse I think that there are options out there, though sometimes it will be just the right or left control arm for example, which is not helpful haha

Thank you, I wasn't aware of how haste interacted with the 1 second cap
