Hi Guys, My name is Jestin James. I am from India and I am a Mechanical engineering student. As part of my project I would like to build a car from scraps. So I need your suggestions from where I should start...

Welcome to TorqueCars

Interesting question, no idea where you would start but perhaps the roadside? I only say that as I have not seen many scrapyards in India!

Best thing is to write down your plans, aims and use this to build a profile of what you want to achieve and from this you can plan what you need to look for and collect.

Welcome to the Forums Have you considered watching the Show Chop Shop??

They do a Similar thing with just a £2000 Budget i.e. Once they turned a Old Scrapheap Taxi into a 600 BHP Supercar!

Have a Gander my friend!
