James, Congratulations, you've made it. All it really takes to be a successful home maintainer of your car is confidence. There are very few jobs (on Spitfires at least) that can't be tackled by someone with a bit of common sense and a smidgen of experience (plus a reasonably well-equipped tool kit!), all you need on top of that is the belief that you CAN do it. Oh, and all your friends on the list advising/confusing/talking you through. BTW, did you order stainless steel exhaust parts? They really aren't that much more expensive, and for the knowledge that they will never need replaced again it is money WELL worth spending - particularly on a car like yours that is used in all weathers, a mild steel exhaust may well need replacing in a couple of years.
