sound silly and its abit different, but if you haven't got the modelers touch have you tried pedal bikes?
when i was 14/15/16 i was well into BMX and DJ bikes. sanding them down, re-spraying the frames, different seats, bars, rims, pedals etc. what first started me into the modifying world lol i loved it.

It was an RS1600i orignally as it has the rear towing eye. All those parts were transfered to make a red RS1600i cabrio. This is what I did with the RS1600i shell.
