Pretty straight forward here, I want to learn how to do mechanical work. I'm 21 and live in Winnipeg. My Dad was never really into fixing cars he prefers to just drive them especially since, as an entrepreneur, free time isn't something he has a lot of, and I personally have no place to fiddle around on a project therefore self-teaching hasn't been much of an option.

SO, if there's anyone in Winnipeg who wants/needs an extra set of hands for free, during evenings/weekends, I'm more than happy to join just for the learning experience. It'll help if it's someone patient, because my hands-on experience is limited to simple tuneups, easy maintenance and the like. Hell I'd even "intern" for a shop, if you do work on weekends. Thanks guys!

I was doing weekends at partsource just for fun but found I wasn't learning a lot (besides that winnipeggers are cheap buggers). I work M-F as well as being in university so I really only have free time on weekends, and why not put it to good use?

I can tell you this, if I came into a large sum of money I'd apprentice as a mechanic, then body work, then spend my spare time buying and restoring all the quirky cars I've always wanted.

Haha, I know Vic, and I also know his time is being pulled in more different directions than a person should have to deal with. He's helped me out numerous times and I can't thank him enough, but I was hoping to find something I can do a little more often.
