Building a car to start racing
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 9:50 pm
I am interetsted in prepping a car to get started in racing with the club. My preference would to buy a car already prepared to race but I can't seem to locate one.
My family and I went to the races at Silverstone and talked with some of the drivers. We also spoke to Terry and the drivers at Weston. Those interactions solidified my decision to jump in.
To that end I bought a 1984 xjs V12. it appears there is more corrision on the car than expected and it may not be a good foundation for a race car. Luckily I didn't invest too much in it. If I am going to prep one myself I could use some rcommendations on who can do the chassis work, strengthening, safety cage etc and who to talk to about engines, etc.
I am located in Cambridgeshire between Kettering and Huntingdon. Recommendations, advise, and sugestions about how to proceed are greatly appreciated.
