If you fit expensive parts yourself and they fail, it's very difficult to get your money back and compensation for the damage done by their failure, or the waste of time involved.
Very few non farmers do their own maintenance in Germany because of the regulations concerning fluid disposal (You can't even wash a car on private property) and what you are allowed to do on private property. It often prohibits vehicle maintenance in the land rights or property lease terms.
There are some classic car clubs that have real good tool kits and ramps or lifts, but none in my immediate area.
