Trying not to put too many newcomers off, I do not think you actually need a great deal to be honest
I know from my own experience of having nothing but the smallest garage possible, a set of normal hand tools, a home made 4ft x 2ft bench with a 4” vice and a pillar drill. To which I added a mig welder, angle grinder, electric drills, a couple of home made wooden trestles, work mate, clamps, and a selection of mole grips and several lengths of angle iron to fold metal.
With the exception of the engine rebuild which was carried out by my next door neighbour who had a small lathe in his shed and the front axle eye reforging which was sent away, everything else was rebuilt from scratch with just above.
Not easy but certainly do-able
Oh and a lot of enthusiasm
