Hey, it's me. I'm now 14, and legal to work. I recently just had my working papers filled out, so I can get a job. That's actually what I'm doing instead of my school work lol. Anyways, I should probably explain my circumstances better. I live right outside of the Philadelphia suburbs, and have a pretty good idea of how cars work and stuff. My love for the Corvair has not faded, but early imports, especially British and Japanese cars have my heart. I do have some tools from my dad's old toolbox, but nothing very specific for automotive maintenance. I've seen some pretty cool corvairs on FB marketplace, and most are exactly what I want for the money (Monza 110's/ Corsa 140s with 4/spds). Now, I understand the concept of reliability, practicality, and ya know, usefulness. My mom is going to get me and my brothers a group car, so I will have a reliable daily. A couple of months ago, me and my mom went to a local Euro shop and shot the stuff with a few of the employees. They told me that most shops probably wont hire me because I'm 14. However, they did comment I may be able to work the phones or something like that. Now, what should I do to get my Corvair/muscle car/roadster/whatever I see on FB marketplace for reasonable cash? Where can I get hired to work on cars or car related at my age. Also, any advice on classic car ownership for a teenager who won't be able to get a 30 grand restoration? Finally, I'd like to say thank you for all the help as of recently.
