I've done small things that come with instructions. Helped a few friends install intakes on imports and I helped my brother custom install his stereo and a SAFC by removing his center console piece and cutting the plastic with a dremel. I've also hooked up the sparkplug in the muffler for flaming exhaust on another friend's 300zx TT. Reading up on stuff gives you insight, but actually doing it is what gives you experience. I'd go up to your friends/family and see if they're doing anything to their car even if it's changing brake pads or wheels and see if you can help out, even if you just watch.
Or you can be like my brother and me by just taking things apart so you know how to do it later. I've taken off my bumper quite a few times just for the hell of it. I did my gauge bezel and taillights without any instructions, I just had plenty of time and made logical decisions as where the right thing SHOULD be and it took a while, but it was fun and now I can do it again no sweat.
