With no formal car training and just YouTube videos and a few books, I got almost all of the maintenance done. The car is my weekend car so I was able to take my time. Initially, when I got it I was going through everything. It spent about 6 months on jack stands with me sourcing parts and going nice and easy.
So yes, it's doable. Don't think that things will not break with that age. I am going on 3 years with the car and never left me stranded. I made some costly mistakes, but it's a joy to drive.
I say get to those items before they get to you.
