infact start a bit more raw than that. I would suggest that you study the design architecture of a chassis, for easy work - buy a junked FX or something like that, take out the front suspension and mock it up on stands, then understand what it is - reverse engineer it.

After that you need to step up to other brands and see why they did that. After a few tries you will sort of understand weight distribution, wheel relation to chassis, CG etc.

Building a go kart is useless as you only get to work on a flat pan - some engine and other bits - might as well buy a CNG ricksha and make it a go kart.

Exactly

And if I would be at his place, I would start working on making a buggy

Four wheel independent suspension, control arms..ball joints, steering rack... lots of things to learn and play with

hey, i thought we were working on the turbo diesel mehran

it's been 3 days since you posted this thread mind telling us your progress

Look around you and locate a VW chassis. In my personal opinion there is nothing better than a VW platform to start your project and let your imagination run wild. The other plus point is that you can make it road legal with minimal hassle. It would have some sort of papers to start with so better than getting into the trouble of paying some agent at the registration office to get your project road legal. A VW chassis also gives you reliability so you do not have to worry about the suspension, steering, braking and ultimately its road-worthiness.

Good luck with whichever route you decide to take.

im working on neither at the moment - no resources

plus diesel mehran will not be initiated until i get a second personal car

This thread could help us compiling good points for something like "Steps to building a car in your garage".

You are right. I'll try getting one.

I'll keep that in mind while selecting my project as well. Thanks for the suggestion

Go to superlite cars.com and check out the exo cars try reverse engineering it,
Thing is here u have to make ur chassis, which would bee tubular offcourse from aluminum pipes or steel ones but aluminum is going to be lighter and steel stronger anyways try making a chassis that's angular with less curves causes bending rubes will not only difficult but expensive u can give curves through sheet metal that u will put over the chassis. Anyways I recommend bike engine like gs500 for.which parts sourcing would-be easier than rest putting a car engine will complicate the gear box arrangement plus wieght distribution, though u can go with cars engine and Gearbox but that will make things complicated. Because it's very easy to out wheels at the end of a box but ensuring alignment is very complicated. That's why.chain drive and sequential gearboxes on motorbike engine make things easier then u will.have to fabricate a chain drive hub for connection to axles that will go in wheel hubs wheel hubs need also be designed.and fabricated axles can be borrowed for.a suitable car.anyways long story short do ur research read up about car systems what ever u decide always remember getting from drawing board to reality is always going to be difficult. So determination and knowledge plus good welders and mechanics will be needed to help u out

[adeel86]

More over u can get steering rack from an alto for example.and use cross joints for connection to steering wheel. Plus electric linear actuators if u can find them can be used with bike Gearbox giving u paddle shift arrangement though u still need to.operate clutch and would be slightly jerky, but it's cooler.brakes need to be borrowed from. An existing car.
