Haha, thanks a lot for the love, champ.
First of all, I've read all your replies so I'm going to reply to all your concerns here. About getting your first car? Don't even think of getting something that you can park but can't afford to run, project cars are fun only when theyre turning up to your expectations, one slight mistake can ruin the project which will waste your money, efforts as well as time. So get something that is easy in the beginning, start playing with that, once you've learnt enough, get something that you can afford to drive because the concept of getting a project car is to get it yourself with your own money, you wouldn't want to waste your dad's money on something you're not sure about, so even, God Forbid, you lose the project and lose your money, at the end of the day, you'll learn a lesson for your next project. Remember, you'll learn when you'll get into it, threads can give your ideas & knowledge, but you won't learn till you practically execute the entire plan you've got.
