Mazda Miata just kidding ignore this sentence LOL but seriously I would say a Nissan 350Z is the best project car. That's because it's the modern Nissan 240SX according to some people's perspective. You can get them for almost dirt cheap but low mileage ones can cost more, trust me I've seen it and I hope y'all can somewhat agree with me on this.

I love my 2004 C5. Has an aerowing too. Makes it look a bit more sporty
Your website and user friendly/easy way to figure out what fits is literally what I needed in my life.
Really encouraged that the first car listed is the Rx8 just bought one and I already love it so much 😍
Picked an e36 some months back and have been loving working on it. Some headaches with a 24 year old car for sure but its a blast to drive and just difficult enough to work on that it keeps me truly engaged with every little thing about it
Damn "some guy name john".... That cut deep.
Foxbody mustang is what I’m going to work on soon! 🐎
Just started my c5 build! Found a super clean low miles and cali garage kept example to start with. I’ve already done a decent amount and it’s a stunner!
You said rx8 and the beautiful sound of a rotor hit my ears as a white rx8 drove by me.
Just picked up an ‘85 300zx, haven’t done a whole lot yet, but the pop up headlights just make me smile... as it sits on jack stands waiting for tires and suspension bits 🥲
My first big project is currently a retired 09 police Dodge Charger. I recieved it with no engine but everything else included. Just recently finished putting in a 5.7 hemi from a Chrysler 300 and started it for the first time. Still have alot of work to do but I'm having alot of fun with, especially considering I've never remotely been interested in owning a Dodge.
I already have one project, I closed my Craigslist tabs so that I'm not tempted 😅 I need to finish and get my '66 AMC Marlin on the road first 🤣
I have a '94 vr4 that I'm currently building for track and I can agree with what Alex said. This car has been an AMAZING project car that flew just under the radar so not all the parts have been marked way up. Love it. Would recommend

2004 5spd is300... it’s a blast refreshing the suspension and engine! They don’t need much to make it a fun car and look good
Picked up an rx8 couple months ago so far it’s going goodish, it’s on stands right now but should be up and running by Monday 👌🏼
Good video, I’m already reaching the age to set goals for a project/daily driver car.

Me and my son are building his first car. Found you guy after bought I bought every thing. This car is to teach us ins and outs to building a real car. So it's more looks then high power with a focus on safety. The joy of having something that no one is really doing. 2003 mitsubishi eclipse spyder gt manual. I am going to install coil overs, 20 inch rims and tires, cat back, cool air intake, slotted brakes (big brakes would be to aggressive for the level of power it will have), braided lines, body kit, spoiler, hood, headers, professional tune, seats, interior, roll bar, paint and a wrap (I want to learn how to do both. This car is an education so if it doesn't matter if the paint isn't rite as long as it sticks), lsd, stage two clutch, lights, and sound system. Going with a light blue paint. Midnight purple wrap. The car is mail truck white.
I totally agree on the c5
Hi Alex, I enjoy watching your videos very much. My project car is Alfa Romeo 166 3.0, 2003 model. I want it in the style of Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA. I am done with rims, tires, exhoust, some stickers and vinly wrap. I have little bit more to finish. Thanks again for the youtube videos. 🟩⬜🟥🍀🍀🍀🇹🇷
I bought a EK civic with no rust FBO no tune turbo coming soon but of course we keeping AC and Heat so hype 🔥

The 3kgt mention sheesh, and the rx-8 and even the c5 corvette. Good list id say
The 300GT VR4 was my favorite car back in the day! So much cooler than any exotic at the time. Don't forget the Infinity's of the early 2000's
Just picked up an E46 project and with all the headaches I still drive it more than my daily which is a challenger

Hey there! I'm from Brazil and I just got myself a 2 door 1997 Seat Ibiza (6k). For those who have no Idea what I am talking about it is based on a shorter variant of the mk3 Golf platform and every part comes from VW. This is a very rare car here and most people don't know it shares practically every part under its shell with very common cars around here.. Anyways, my plans for it consists on a 2.5 EA855 swap (stock NA VW's 1.8 EA827), a small turbo and a WRCish body kit.. Wish me luck! You are awesome! :D
Currently an 87 e30 coupe. Was a project car... Now a all out full resto to turn it into an "exotic e30"... If that makes sense? Widebody, fortune auto air coilovers up front to imitate nose lift on exotic cars, bimodal exhaust, v8 swap with twin screw blower, 6 spd, 6 piston brembos, full legit forged carbon interior.... Every bolt is brand new. Going to install motor and trans next week, get it running, and then install blower to limit possibility for hidden issues i could potentially miss
I own an RX-8 and a Jeep Cherokee XJ as my project cars. I LOVE MY RX8 SO DAMN MUCH
Infiniti G35 sedan. (The 03-06) RWD, a plethora of swap options, can find them everywhere (which makes them alot easier to find parts for, I can go to the junkyard and find about three of them crashed out), they're cheap (literally got mine for $2400) And they're slightly lighter then the coupe counterparts. You can even make them into VIP car. They're the 4 door 350z's when you think about it. 👀
Picked up a 1984 300zx Z31 AE for $1500 and I'm in the process of rebuilding the engine. Waiting to get the news as to whether it needs bored out or not before I order some Wiseco pistons. After I get this one running, on to the Z32 import sitting out the back looking saaaad.

“So you want a z31 300zx?”♯145
The best part of an rx-8 is that it has some of the best steering and handeling of any car, you can do your basic intake, exhause, rad, oil cooler and get all the fun noises and make it reliable. BUT, the cost to make it high horsepower is so much that you would be stupid to do it. Make it so you cant get yourself in trouble as those are the expensive things that blow motors and get you speeding ticket. Also it will improve the driver on the track.
