That's awesome. I have no problem with doing engine work, brakes etc. I don't have the knowledge or tools to do any body work, this is why I want /need a clean rust free car. A car not having a/c will not make it a deal breaker. If that duster would've had a/c I'd be seriously looking into it.
I'll just say this, all of us don't have the knowledge at some point in our lives & it never hurts to learn something new. Hell I wish I could buy a car that's done, then I could just do my thing to it.
Good luck
