Keep at it Thomas - when I was your age, and started tinkering with cars, I learnt the hard way by making mistakes and applying what would now be regarded as 'bodges' to old cars, be we all learn as we gain more experience. I still make mistakes now, but the thing is to take advice (of the good sort, not always easy to spot on modern day car internet forums) and respect that advice from trusted experts in your make/model.
Doing high quality car restoration is not a cheap business, even at home - I am nearing completion of sill replacement, suspension rebuild and re-trim of my MGB GT, and I reckon I have probably spent 4,000 pounds so far (and probably 200-300 hours of time).
Good luck
Pete
