Usually if im doin a specific build i'd ask as many buds with the same or similar build on what to do, and if they all keep bringing up a specific point then thats usually the best go to

    I bought a project car thinking I would just have to fix some rust on it and it'd be done.
    Ended up replacing the front fenders, rear quarter panels, all doors, hood, trunk lid, all windows, the entire interior, all springs and dampers, the entire rear end, brake disks, brake calipers and pads, brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank, fuel pumps, injectors, new paint, wheels, tires and a bunch more.
    The only thing untouched is the roof basically, lol.

    2. Good wiring skills
    3. Proper knowledge of various tools
    4. Money. At least double the amount of the price of the car

    For my first project car i bought a very rusty Volvo 240 1983 model. Only for 350$. Right now im gutting the interior while I'm waiting for my really wide fender flares. Then I'm going to do rust repairs, new axles, new brakes and rotors, big wheels and tires, bc racing coilovers, some sort of a aftermarket front splinter and rear defuser, rattle can paint job (flat paint so it doesn't look disgusting) then doing a massive engine service (the engine runs but it's very ugly and unhealthy looking) just looking everything that needs to be replaced to the engine like new mounts, timing belt, oil, so on and so on. Then making some custom exhaust, louvers, wing, defuser.
    Its going to be a journey so wish me luck!

The parts sat for about a year(mostly because of work and lack of time) but then I just got myself a little brake bleeding kit from o’Reillys and said f*#k it. Let’s get it done. Everything went fine should have never doubting myself and I love the way the red brembos pop behind my Motegi mr131s.

    Compression issues shouldn't be an issue. Compression test is one of the first things you should be checking when buying a jalopnik.

    Bought a 77 k5 chevy blazer, was told that it should be done in 2 weeks from a guy who though it only needed a handful of things almost over a year later and it was finally running. Lets not talk about cosmetics that still need to be done, the license plate light that is held on by bailing wire, and all the other fun little problems that I am still trying to find and fix. I love her dearly but man shes a pain sometimes.

    Okay I have a question, New too the car seen. When you lower your car for good fitment does it limit your turning radius?

    • @ZenthisGaming
      @ZenthisGaming 5 років тому +1

      That depends on the make and model of the car, the type of suspension your getting, the type of fitment you want, etc there are a lot of factors that come into play

    When you buy a project car make sure after you purchase the vehicle ensure that you have more than a two digit number before the comma in your account because for it to be running within the year is at a high cost.

    Thinking you know what's wrong with it without doing proper diagnostics and buying a part to fix it, bit it turns out that wasn't what was causing the issue and now you have a new fuel pump for no reason.
