books
not sure if in right place, but was after recommendations of any books people have found particularly useful with their build.
I know a lot of the titles going round, but wanted ones people have actually read
many thanks

Well i suppopse the "How to build a sportscar..." is a good start, although most on here will say not enough detail.
I also got the Avon book (How to build your own Avon Tiger).
Both of these books were inspirational to me, but again neither were enough to actually build a locost!!
A Haynes manual of your donor is a good idea too. £1 from Ebay for my Sierra one. Even Metal Hippy found a 5 series Beemer haynes manual for a quid at
Newark show.
Enjoy - and hope santa brings one or two of them for you...

If your doing your own welding and are
looking for hints and tips the Haynes automotive welding Manual is a good buy

"Designing and building special cars" by Andre Jute ISBN 0713407786
A bit old (but so am I!), but full of maths and tips about suspension science
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
