Congrats man. Working on your own stuff is so satisfying when you get it fixed and take that first drive.

Just take your time and pay attention. If you have a doubt ask questions. And when you turn the key and drive it for the first time you can bet it will be rewarding. Good luck!!

firing up my motor that I built (along with the help of some good friends) was very gratifying along with every other single mod (catback, headers, cam swap, etc)

hell fixing a high rpm miss (I've had to do that enough times) made me want to go out and party

I started working on cars before I could drive. It's great to get the experience. It will help you out a lot in later years. One good thing is that you can get most of your mistakes out of the way early on.
