£1k Shed

[Muzzman]

So I'm about to sell the track car so will have some spare cash, I want to get a car to practise spanering on before I turn my attention to the osf. What would you get?

 

Or don't bother and just give it to Ashtons

cant get an easier car to work on mate, than a old ford

My sister has a mk6 Escort that has 45k on the clock (my grandad had it since new) spoke to her and I can have it for free as has failed MoT, might have a tinker on that.

Win win, car to tinker with and still a grand to spend on the Escort

I would tinker with my OSF and then use the £1000 to pay somebody to put it right afterwards!

Crack on with your osf. You'll be amazed how quickly you pick stuff up. Plus there's a lot of people on this and other forums who are happy to give help and advice when you get stuck.

id say spend it on quality tools that you can use time after time. i done a nut and bolt rebuild on my capri without much prior experiance. only doing brakes etc before. alot of it comes from having the confidence to give it a go.i even built my own roll over jig. i was suprised at how much i could do- took me 5 years though but that was due to working outside.

 

you will find it easier to work on the mechanics of OSF than mk6 escort.

 

all the best.
