If you're set on a project car, make sure you have a budget and don't go over. Understand that everything works perfectly in your mind, but when you try to actually do stuff yourself it's much harder. I worked several years as a repair tech and some stuff is still very difficult for me.
I would say ideally you want a cheaper hobby, like painting or music or something that doesn't need a bunch of money.

I worked at a garage for 4 summers during high school (24 now) so I have a bit of experience with cars and the confidence to do most repairs myself. But yeah, there are some things I wouldn't want to attempt especially on an old rusty car. I do have cheaper hobbies (guitars, cycling, computers), but will always have a love for cars.
I guess I meant more of a weekend car rather than project car. The project part would be to upgrade it (turbo, suspension, etc...).
Yes, PrincessPerky, I did start a thread about buying a house. This is just a dream of mine for someday down the road (2 or 3 years if I feel it's affordable at that point)
