Plan to get more hands-on

Post by GeeMobee »

Hey chaps

I've been toying with the idea of getting a vehicle (running or not) to learn the ins and outs of being a diy mechanic.

Zero experience so far so will definitely not be experimenting on any of the dailys.

My goal is to be able to (as a start):

- do minor / major services

- replace braking components

- remove and replace/restore suspension bits

I have R100k to spend on the vehicle, tools, equipment etc.

Any advice of choice of vehicle and where to start?

Cheers and thanks!
