Okay, I could see being to old to undertake huge automotive projects. But I started working right after I turned 15 and have been working on my car ever since. I don't get out of school to work on it and I also have a job at which I work on aver 22 hours a week. My father provided minimal help when I started working on my car, I tore most of it down and cataloged the hardware by myself, it's only in the past year or so that he's become almost as involved with the gremlin as I am. You don't have any money? Unless you're 12 or 13 you're not too younge to get a job, there's work out there, it may not be a steady job or pay well but it IS money. If your car was that dear to you you'd have some level of detication, you'd make it work. Sometimes you gotta set aside everything else grab a wrench and make it happen, Dave
