Hey buddy welcome to TC, good luck with your endevours, looking forward to your future projects. Make sure you have a garage dustbin and a box with old rags, telescopic magnet for when you drop nuts into narrow dark little crevices, a camera to take picks of all your projects, baby grinder, blow torch, welder and a small tv to watch the races while you work, ohh and don't forget the bar fridge.
 
Thanks for the replies.

Already got a full mig welder setup. Got a drill. Got a vernier caliper.

Will get a telescopic magnet and also a mirror.

Greetings immortal and a Warm Welcome to our TorqueCars Forum my Friend!

Good to have you along with us :)
 
That's a big shopping list, so do you not have any tools at all then? Normally home mechanics have a few of those already and add as they go. The transmission jack is only suitable for when working under a ramp or post lift.

Do you have room for all of that?

Hi,

Have a decent socket set (halford pro) but half of them are missing or cacked up (kids been in my tool box lol). Transmission jack i could do without thinking about it as no , i dont have the room but could buy that when i progress to a unit , if i do.
