Weirdo_Joe, this is how you gain experience by doing. I learned to work on cars with my Grandfather (he owned a VW shop) and from own Dad who was too cheap for others. I consider this to have been valuable experience as I do most of the work myself. I am not the best and I do make mistakes. But at least if I make a mistake I am not spending hundreds of dollars to have somebody else make that same mistake.

The cool thing about working on cars is collecting tools. Tools allows us to contribute and improve things. Do you have car/geek friends? Borrow their tools and help and get started. Have you installed the underdrive pulley. That is an excellent first project.
