Carport-to-Garage

Hi all. This may have been asked before, but I can't seem to find it. I just purchased a home with a 2-car car port, and I would like to enclose it and turn it into a garage. I would like to do it myself, with the exception of the door installation (which I've heard is just easier to have done for you.)

I'm wondering if any of you know of any good how-to's written on the subject, on-line or not. Books, magazines, websites, anything would be good. I don't want to post a question here that just says, "how do I turn my carport into a garage?" that would be stupid, so if you can lead me in a direction to give me some pointers that would be great.

It's already got a roof and everything, so I don't figure it's too much more than framing the back wall, and the one side wall, then putting in the door, but I'm curious to see if there are any tips.

Thanks!

Where are you?
What Is the parking surface?
What and how many are supporting the carport?
Are the supports elevated above grade?
What are you planning for finished surfaces?
What is the exterior material on the part of the dwelling that will be enclosed?
What type of door is now the entry off the carport?
