New builder

[cirrusjock]

Hi

I have had the book a while and regularly flick through it. I have now however decided to start building one.

I am doing up an old BMW 3 series that I bought spares or repair on ebay, my son has taken an interest and loves to help out (when he is not playing mario kart). My plan is to sell that for whatever I can get and buy the chassis and tools to get started and this will be a project for me and my son to do together.

One thing I have never done is weld and as my son will be helping (he is only 5) I dont really want to shut him out the garage whilst I learn. I also dont trust myself to put together a safe chassis.

As a result I am looking for a ready made chassis. What options are there in terms of suppliers and what is recommended?

If I would like to get into racing it (nothing serious) as well as being able to drive it on the road what would be the best setup in terms of donor cars?

Brace yourselves for many more questions in the near future?

Regards
