i do not believe one needs experience. however because the gt4 is rare and has age, it is very important that to transform or restore a gt4 one must be willing to learn, have patience, and be prepared to spend a good deal of currency to do a proper job.
do not do things on the cheap because it will cost one much more than money. get all the maintenance issues out of the way. then perform the modifications necessary to go, brake, handle, and appear the way one wishes to do.
most importantly, formulate a plan so that one can see where he/she wishes to go.
that is what i am doing right now. it will take time, but in the end it will be time and money well spent. :mrgreen:
