If you had to pick a project car from the 80s, What would you pick? I'm not talking supercar or anything. Something cheaper. Lets say, less than $5000 to pick up?
Something that really personifies the 80's. Something maybe a bit more unique?
I'm aware that this post is all over the place, but bear with me.
This one
Why would you buy a project car from the 80s of you didn't know what you wanted?
At what point did I say I bought a project car? And in this made-up scenario, where did I say I didn't know what I wanted?
"Just LS swap it": the car.
RX7 FB
It would be my project car but I drive it every day
Nice. Never considered this.
Those are becoming more and more scarce too. Unique would definitely be a plus with this one.
W126 Mercedes Benz
Asking us implies you don't know what you want.
This is a dumb question, but other than (maybe?) the AMG versions, did they make a standard of this series?
Mr2 aw11
Or it implies I'm interested to see peoples various interests and views of what constitutes a fun 80s project car?
Are you always on the look out for something you can bash someone on? Even if that thing is complete conjecture and assumption with 0 evidence towards your point?
Of course, there's tons of models with different engines. Diesels, gassers, turbo diesels. W126 is just the predecessor of the S Class.
foxbody mustang or blunderturd with a sbc swap for maximum buttrage

I actually am looking at getting an 87 or 88 Fiero GT for my first project car
I know it's probably a poor choice in model but I really dig it. Hopefully it turns out nicely

Is this better?
>literally a Fiero with a body kit
Already got one, Nissan Gazelle for $400.
$2500 with the engine already swapped : )
if it's a 3800 swap, you can keep it. I want nothing to do with that engine.
>Gazelle
Burger here, is that the S12 chassis? Looks a lot a like the 200SX we got here
different name, same car.
but mate, you're never late in a 3.8
lucky aussie, I love s12s. I'll trade you my $200 AW11
You're late for the 21st century since the design is stuck in the 60's.
the 3.8 is a terrible engine design, albeit a reliable and terrible sounding one.
funny you should ask OP, I picked an mr2
>back parking lot of Ross
I bet you're hating life right now
???
It was just a place to take the picture bro
yeah they're pretty gutless engines with an outdated design but very reliable, I've got one with 225k kilometers and never had a single issue with it

>It was just a place to take the picture bro!

waow youre telling me i paid 800 for a blacktop? guess i got a good deal then thanks user
>spends all his money on an engine swap
>still riding on $80 spic wheels
I was looking at purchasing one of these for a while but couldnt find a clean one.
I understand how finnicky they can get but I didnt care. Love that shape
another great car. good taste user.
Man you're just looking more and more stupid every post, I have RPF1s m8, the shitcan wheels are what came with the car when I bought it and were promptly replaced
Then post one with those, Jesus why would you post a pic with those shitty 20+ year old rims man?
s-sorry user senpaisamakun i didnt think id get judged so hard for a 30 year old shitbox

Gen 3 Supra or Gen 1 MR2
...
Yeah, expect electrical gremlins aplenty, and to spend more time sitting in it going "vroom vroom" than driving it. But like you, I don't give a shit. I'm getting one as soon as I have the space for a project car.
One of these for sure.
>Corvette

Audi Quattro
d-dad?
Yes, my son
I picked this one
adub/fiero/mkII or mkIII supra, awd gt4 celica, rx7 fc
It still counts as 80s if production ended in 81, right?
If not, then I'd probably pick a foxbody mustang.
>yfw the original 2.8L The Fiero had was more modern and up to date than the 3800
Fox body mustang. With a turbo 351w.
