The engine is already going back in the cheap Grand Am, but will it run? part 4

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The painting gnomes edged out the frame rails we welded on last time so now it is time to swap over the subframe and get the drivetrain back in the Grand Am. While we are here, we will throw some new brake lines on it that do not have the standard Illinois rust. If you missed the previous videos of this series, see them here:

    The way I see the cheaper builds is not everyone can afford a $20,000 vehicle. I think Scott does a great job of making a affordable car for people that can only afford x amount on a vehicle. Some may see this as a waste but this will make someone a great car whether this is someones first car or a affordable second car. I wish there was someone like Scott 37 years ago when I was looking for my first car.
