25, my first ride was a 65 mustang fastback painted black with gold gt350h stripe kit. fully restored it when i was 14 with my dad and a friend of his who owned a body shop. joined the marine crops when i was 17 and haven't really messed with anything else until i got out in 2004 and bought my 89. now i am working on it and my 83, that i just got. right now i am makeing plans for an all wood floor, tilt bed, and wishbone setup for the 83. but that will all have to wait until around june.

I just turned 41 and I got into working on cars about 2 years ago when I bought my 1990 Honda Civic wagon. I painted this car myself using a brush and an $8 can of rustoleum.
All the cars I've owned before the Honda I have not touched because of a lack of time, money and mostly knowledge.
I bought my first car at 21. It was an '86 or an '87 Lada Signet wagon which I bought practically brand new (1 year old). I loved this car. It has wipers on the headlights and a complete tool kit... presumably so Russians can do their own repairs??
This is not my car but mine looked exactly like this.
As for the B2000, I bought it last year from my bro for $1. I researched on my own (including finding and going through this site) how to bring it back fom the dead, prep it, paint it, etc... Next summer I'm going to remove the dash, fix a few things back there, including the heater core. The interior is currently tan but I'm going to be changing that a bit, including a new bench seat.
I'm also slowly modding a 1999 Tomos Targa that is my daily driver from late march to late November. Insurance is cheap at $130/year and a full tank, which lasts a week, costs around $3. This is all in Canadian dollars BTW.
So far I've added a basket for carrying large items and my briefcase when I go to work, I've added a 63cc piston instead of the stock 50cc, I've upgraded the tires, I've painted the front half red and added extra turning signals and a brake light on the back. Oh, I almost forgot, I modified the headlight to accept standard Kimpex snowmobile headlight bulbs ($5) instead of the specialty $20 bulb from Europe.
Gee, after previewing my post I just realized something... I like the color red. The irony is that, as I'm writing this, I'm wearing my favorite red shirt... LOL

I am 19 now, i started building my first mazda when i was 15 its a 1990 mazda b2200 bagged, backhalfed, v8ed, pretty much almost all of the truck has been redone. i also had a 84 yota ext cab that was slammed, notched, shaved, & primered with wheels but i have sold that and now have 2 new projects while still finishing the v8ed mazda. The new projects are a 91 nissan 240sx with the ka24de it has an intake, full exhuast, electric fan, wheels, 2" springs, soon to be building a motor for it. I also have a 92 mazda b2200 in mint condition but smokes like crazy i already have the motor out of this one and on the engine stand. so at the moment i have to many projects in probably gonna slam the 92 and sell it once i get the motor back in it.

31 and trying my hardest not to get any older. Only project for me on the run is saving for an engagement ring for the g/f. I am helping, somewhat, my buddy build his restomod '67 fastback 'stang....AKA project Deadhorse.
The wierdest thing modified was another buddy bagged a Pontiac (i believe)Acadian. I was hilarious. It had oval "Black Magic" stickers over the entire paint of the car.
