HOW TO BEGIN
|
|
As Lars and Magnus say, you need some basic knowledge about cars and "construction-kits".
A keen interest in building your own vehicle and a lot of time, it will will take some 1000 hours to get it ready.

Today there are Esther Cars with 7 different types of engines: Ford, Opel, Volvo, AlfaRomeo and VW. De-Dijon or live rear axles. Different types of 4 and 5 speed gear boxes.
|
|
|
Nearly every winter up to 5 rolling chassis are made, the customer needs to arrange components like wishbone and rear axle., after making a deal with "Esther Chassieteknik". We can also support with shock absorber and springs from AVO in UK.
|
|
|
You can if you want to just order the chassie and make wheel suspension, bonding points and be your own master.
|
|
|
Except the chassie you will be needing a lot of different parts, this is were your own imagination and wallet sets the limit. Sometimes to get inspiration you need to visit a car breaker and look how "big" normal Car manufacturers has assembled steering gear, breaks and so on. You need to be aware of it is a extremely small and limited space area of distribution for your components. Via the Internet you may find a lot of information and others who is building their own car.

Money! It is not cheap to build a competitive car. In Sweden we have to pay following charges: SFRO-inspection 3000:- , Noise-test each occasion is 700:-, Environmental-charge 7000:- Scrap-charge 1500:- and a Registration fee 3000:-.
|

Before starting the project.
1. Buy SFRO handbook and read how to make an amateur registrerd vehicle. (http://members.tripod.com). Contact the inspector in your area.
2. Make some small questions to yourself: What purpose am I building it for? , Racing?, cruise in town? Or is it just a boy dream?
3. Contact someone with experience of amateur registration vehicles.
Be prepared, sooner or later you will end up in some difficulties so you won't be standing feeble with a "" iron bedstead" that you don't want to be acquainted with.
