Hi all,

Bought a 240 last Oct because my Grandad was supposed to be moving closer. He was a mechanic back in the day so I thought we could do a project together. Unfortunately he passed before moving and didn’t even get to see the car.

Now I have to work alone trying to build a car he would be proud of without any proper knowledge. I came across Torquecars numerous times whilst researching best ways to gain power, improving handling and so on..

The plan is to build a sleeper with a nice bit of power without blowing anything up. I’m a complete novice without automobile engineering experience but I do know how to use a spanner. Funds are limited which restricts what I can achieve. Unless you people can help with low budget ideas.

The information and knowledge I’ve gained reading through articles on Torquecars has been very interesting and I’m excited to see what I can achieve with my old boy.

I’ll also be reading what you guys and girls are getting up to with interest.
