I started spannering pretty early on, me a dad rebuilt a '74 reliant Scimitar se5a started it when I was around 11 finished it nearly by time I was coming up to 13.
Was working on my dad's '85 mg metro from maybe 10 setting valve clearances and servicing, doing the brakes
So my spannering days started very early and I wish cars were still that easy to work on unlike the shite you get these days
