Just bought a front end suspension rebuild kit thinking about installing it myself never done it before but heared it was pretty straight foward what would be the most difficult part of this process or should i leave it to the professionals ?

Check out my front end job thread (link below) and see if you want to tackle it or farm it out.
It takes some work but if you do it all right the first time, the results will have you smiling a long time!

Just take your car and a couple of cases of beer over to Rob's place and have him do it.

It's never "straight forward", something always bites you in the butt no matter what it seems, maybe it's just my luck?

The hardest part is doing the bushings and lower ball joints IMO, and with the right tools it not that big a deal... if everything goes right. The free loaner tool service at "Otter Zone" and Advanced does come in handy.
You can also take the control arms to a shop and have them press out the old bushings and ball joints and after you paint everything take them back and have the new bushings and ball joints pressed in. My local NAPA does them, I've never used the service but heard it's less than a couple of hundred bucks.

You have excellent taste.
That's one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen!!
Now I want another one, the light blue with a camel interior would be nice.
