Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
I have always thought a 4g63 mini would be super bomb, has anyone done it?

I don't know what you're talking about.  I was tired and had Nissan on the brain, stupid 300ZX...

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
I would love to get another Evo 8/9 for a DD.
However, a 180sx with a CA18 comes to mind for a fun project car for me
Or anything with an RB25. Another RSX would be cool too, miss that car.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
Turbo LS1 FC or SN95. Try to go deep into the 10's for less than 10k total investment. Would be fun.

No love for the classic Rat Rods?
I am looking at buying some classic trucks for my landscaping business. We have a 1955 Chevy 3/4 ton truck that is going to be rebuilt.
It would be eye catching.

This one is really neat. Air bag suspension so it can be lowered and cars can be brought onto it. with some added platform some lawn mowers or landscaping equipment could be added to it.
Farm trucks are plentiful and this would be a cool welding project.
I think I am getting tired of the 4g63 and want to change to something else for a while. The RX-7 with LS-X would be a good project. But if I had the choice right now it seems like the classic car would be the most enjoyable right now.
I have a xs650 (cheap and a dime a dozen) and I am going to try to do something like this.
We will have to wait and see what happens.
I also have my Scummit. I think that is going to be the last mitsu project for a while. It is going to be one of those budget project under $2000
Here it is in minneapolis shoved on a snow bank! HA my GF thought I couldn't park there because of the now.

Better get one quick, they are getting hard to find in good condition. Sure to be a collectors item in a few years.
