Its funny you say that.
My dad didn't know what a spanner looked like. At 14 I taught myself to
maintain (read rebuild) the family car (FJ Holden) when it started to eat
oil and dad threatened to sell it. Later dad's EH Holden got "Hotted Up"
(which was the terminology then). After this "apprenticeship" I built my
first ground up project (a Bolwell Mk7). Its been a hobby ever since. Does
this sound a familiar story to you?
So dont worry about your dads lack of expertise, you can make up for it,
keep having a go, learning by listening, looking, and making the odd
mistake. You will be the family "automotive guru" and your kids will
probably bring their cars to you for help.
Now there's a scary scenario, eh.
