I started with basic home/diy tools but nothing really in the car mechanic area. Based on GBS's tool list & as the built progressed I obtained the following:
- Trolley Jack Liftmaster 2 ton low profile
- Trolley jack pad
- Breaker bar x2
- Hub Socket 42mm
- Diff flange Socket 24mm
- Clamps Draper (various)
- Nibbler Draper 35748
- Puller (not needed for the diff flange but useful later to remove the hubs)
- Drip tray
- Engine hoist KMS Direct 1 ton & 750kg load leveller
- Shackles
- Drill bits Silverline cobalt bits Lotsx3.2mm, 2x4mm, 2x6mm

These were not so useful, only used once or twice on the build, and with hindsight might have been better borrowed:
- Riveter Silverline 868778 (Preferred the pliers type to this lazy tongs one)
- 5mm stamp kit too big & wouldn't cleanly stamp the stainless
- Drum sanding kit Clarke CAT38 (useful but redundant now I have a Dremel)
- Silverline bit Sharpener 127569
