Wow this is a monster of a problem. When I was but 18, and had my first car, as you are back then I thought "how hard can it be? Bit of spray paint and robert is your mother's brother". Big mistake. It is very hard indeed to do yourself and when you get it wrong, everyone else can look at your motor and say, "yup, he did that himself!"

Get the pro's in - its money well spent.
