Welcome to the forum Angus, you’ll find it an excellent resource for learning. I had a 1972 Firenza when I was 18 and I still think it was one of the best looking cars I’ve ever owned. Vauxhall were very generous with the size of their engine bays so there is plenty of room in there for a small block V8 if you start to feel adventurous
As others will say, visit and post often, not forgetting to put up pictures of your work. We all like to see pictures.
