Question Should I attempt it?

I need to change the timing belt in my 85. Does anyone know what I might be in for? I have the service manual for the car but could really use some personal knowledge of the process.
Thanks!

Its not to hard. I changed my belts seals and all that fun stuff 2 months back. Room might be an issue I had my front end off and the radiator out so I didn't have any issues but if you don't have experience don't attempt it.

I have an 85 too and its about that time for me also.
From what I have seen and read in the Haynes manual so far, it seems like a real pain.
And while you are in there, I have been told you might as well do the water pump too since all is open and easily accessible. What does the average shop charge for something like this?
