Get something cheap to learn on at first, before spending the time and money on a "classic". Something fairly common, so you can find info on repair online (forums/youtube). Get a Haynes workshop manual for it.
Make sure you have access to a garage space with a lift.
- dharmab 3y agoThe lift is optional for most tasks if you're young enough your back won't hurt- I built my autocross car in my parent's garage on jackstands, including cutting out and replacing everything from the trailing arms back. Only thing that a lift was truly needed for in that car was the clutch and flywheel swap.
