I was late in the game also, I didn't start fixing my own car till after college but here is how I started
1. Get a FSM (factory service manual) learn how to read it, the symbols and what are tools needed/special tools
2. Buy your own tools hydraulic jack, jack stands, wrenches & sockets set...don't need to be mac tools, snap on or craftsman a harbor fright tools as long as its life time warranties apply get it.
3. Go to local meets for your car, meets are not just to show off your car its also good to make friends, friends who know how to wrench and has experience on same car or other cars. you can pick up tips on how to do stuff on your car.
4. If your friends needed help to installing parts for their car run and help its a good way to learn without doing it to your car, its also a good way if you want that part on your own car.
5. Finally pass it forward help a new guy just remember you started like that also
