Ive been wanting to find a older used car and fix it up. how do most people learn how?
Some community colleges and technical schools offer classes. A couple of kit car manufacturers give workshops on building their cars (Factory Five is one I know of) but that ain’t cheap. Frankly, I think it would be a great idea for a local service shop to offer classes, or maybe a weekly "shop night" for gearhead wannabes.

I took autoshop class in highschool. they offer classes at most junior colleges. a lot of it comes from doing it yourself, just a buy a repair manual for your car and read as you go..

Trial and error. I learned in my back yard. ‘Course, I learned on cars built in the 40’s and 50’s, so it was much easier……
TODAY’S cars can be screwed up easily and cost a fortune to repair.
