In my short time here, I see mostly discussions about car valuation, authenticity, or restoration state; not so much on how things are done. I'd very much like to see more of the latter be added to the mix.
What I think would help is if a thread or group of threads could be created deliniating solutions to common issues. Different threads could be devoted to restoration topics, such as getting the floor pans right, or modifications, like dual-circuit brakes. Then, these could be made into "stickys" that always appear at the top. They could be appended as needed to keep current or add new elements. I'd suggest it stays in GTD unless and until it takes up enough space for a dedicated sub-forum, but that's not my call.
I think everyone has their threshold for complexity or difficulty in a project. And, it can change over time. I bought my car in 1991, but haven't really touched it because my threshold was too low (discovered after the fact). After getting a lot of experience working on other cars, I'm ready to tackle what needs to be done on my car. My threshold moved a little at a time, as I became inspired by what I saw others doing to their cars (in person and in forums), and tried things myself. I met people who could help and encourage me. I got new skills and more confidence that I could likely overcome any mistakes I might make. In turn, I've tried to help others where I can.
Can I cut and replace a fender? Nope. Would I like to see pictures of someone else doing it? Absolutely! Might I attempt it one day? Maybe, but I'd have to work up to it. Conversely, I can rebuild a toploader or an axle right now, and wouldn't mind sharing what I know with others. I also have a bazillion questions, and in S. Car., few in-person opportunities to meet fellow Tiger owners that are DIY enough to answer them.
Regards,
John.
