My 15 year old son is planning to go into the garage/mechanic trade. He'll be looking for an apprenticeship next year.

Any ideas on a good project for him in the mean time. I'm handy with spanners, so I guess it'll be joint project
Ideally it would be something that we could turn small profit on - after all that's what a job is about.

I did consider building one of those Mx5 kits cars but the budgets added up and the re-sale was probably below the parts cost. I' thinking more mechanical than welding up an old midget of something. and nothing too challenging and long projects - I want to finish it!

Shed made me wonder about rebuilding a RX7....
Do do I just trawl through ebay for sometime with a failed MOT......

Any interesting thoughts?
