Monetize skills you already have and/or choose a simple idea like window cleaning, pressure washing, landscaping, junk removal, or really anything “mobile” you can do to make people’s lives a little easier. Remember that it doesn’t have to be forever and if you already like cars, there are lots of ways to make money in the car industry alone. Detailing, vinyl installation, painting, mobile repair, bodywork, restoring/selling junkyard parts, car flipping (if done right). Be smart, ethical, and do the work that needs doing.

I truly love watching videos like this one and believe it could evolve into a great series, similar to the format of 'Buddy's DIY' channel. One suggestion I have is to delve deeper into explaining the process of fixing or diagnosing problems. Many videos assume viewers already possess a certain level of knowledge, but I find it incredibly helpful when every step is thoroughly explained. As someone who isn't as mechanically inclined as I'd like to be, I appreciate the opportunity to learn as much as possible from someone more knowledgeable. Regardless, fantastic video!

Nice job......the profit made it worthwhile. Good job attending to the mechanical issues first. Before we had ODB2 readers, we had to do some detective work, although we didn't have all the modules and sensors either. I was just outside today working on a bumper cover on a work stand. Of course, with plastic, you have to use a flexible glazing putty to make certain there aren't future cracks. I think that in our case, since you have a car port, I would probably find some heavier plastic sheeting and create a makeshift paint booth. It would at least keep some trash out of your paint job. Also, I think I would buy some new hinges and/or latch for the hood instead of the hood latches. The rest of the car looks great and it sounds like you have it running good. Very resourceful project.

Pretty solid work for a driveway budget job. NGL, I was a little 😬 at first, but other than the bondo thing, and getting a little better setup, definitely did a great job. You could grab some tarps or heavy plastic sheeting and a couple box fans with filters and rig up a booth in your carport for not too much effort or cost. I found a decent paint-less dent removal tool kit is really handy and cheap way to take care of normal dents and dings for the most part, and a skim coat of Rage Gold or 3M body filler finishes it nicely, mix in a little Plastik Honey by Evercoat to enhance cheaper quality body fillers or to flow it smoother. Name brand Bondo is too brittle and stiff for my preference. Cool video 🤙
