How to Buy a Budget Friendly Project Car

Learn how you can buy a project car for less than the cost of a new cell phone! Project cars are great for learning how to fix a car and when you are “done” (project cars are never done), you can be proud to drive the car you fixed up!
In this series eBay Motors challenged me to buy a 24hr endurance race car for the 24hrs of Lemons race series. The car I chose had to be fast, reliable, and under $500!

  22. Curtis Jackson on April 4, 2021 at 11:33 pm

    How come you said you paid $1000 for the mustang and you said it wasnt running and about to go to the scrapyard.. then you proceed to say it was a running car for under $1000… when you probably put at least $1000 into it

    Okay but like… The budget was 500… You spent 1100… How does that fit the 24 hours of lemons rules?



  42. Cousin IT on April 4, 2021 at 11:50 pm

    Use Toyo proxes R888R



  43. Nicolas Bustos on April 4, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    exactly.. a proyect motorcycle or car is what you need for learning, testing, rubbing, tearing appart, crushing, destroying, experimenting, not sleeping at , gain experience and moar.

    I hate that tradition on people on buying new shit, or that fear to experimentation.

    Love that junky joyful feeling of those dirty rice cars racing in da street.



  44. Rania y on April 4, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    There is no such thing like a budget friendly project car. 😀



  47. AidanMC1995 on April 4, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    Sell all of your BMW logos. If they are in good shape, can be worth $. Art and diy gear people love em Also head liners can go for good money. Rear seat, since its a race car, take it out! Weight loss and profit



  48. Z.ylo_ on April 4, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    I’m so confused I thought the car had to be 500?



  49. Michael Covington on April 4, 2021 at 11:58 pm

    Isn’t the whole thing with lemons is that it’s supposed to be, oh I don’t know, $500? $1,100=/=$500
