How to Build Your Dream Car

[@pfflyers1]

+blu73 You cant put a price-tag on the value of what he learned. He took the same path we did in the late 60's early 70's ....... a kid you can talk to without having to pause to explain

[@blu73]

+pfflyers1 I've not really ever done what he has really but i plunge loads of money into my cars, i do it for the love of the things.... whether something is financially sensible never really comes into it. If the car needs it then i buy it, if i really want it i save up and get it. :)

[@NuclearGrizzly]

+blu73 I have a '73 911 I bought without a drivetrain 20 yrs ago. For what I've spent on it I could be driving a Bugatti.

[@pfflyers1]

NuclearGrizzly Is that a 73 911 RS?

[@NuclearGrizzly]

pfflyers1 I wish. It's a late '73 that would have come with the CIS fuel injection but like I said, I bought it with no drivetrain. Now it has a later 3.0 twin plug, a 915 tranny with LSD, brakes from a late 80's Turbo with a host of suspension and chassis upgrades. Wonderfully reliable but I just can't stop "improving" on it. It's my money pit. I have my eye on a low mileage 3.6 at my local salvage yard.

+Carter Kelly Kramer Believe me, 2002 enthusiast would pick your creation over a stock 2002 any day. I had a very nice Tii and you cant really enjoy it 'cause it would loose too much value if it crashed or got hit by a careless driver. As nice as my 2002 was I think yours is a beauty that resembles a 2002 Alpina which in my opinion was the pinacle even compared to the 2002 Turbo.

[@dirksteffen9375]

It is a beautiful story presented by the good folks of Petrolicious - beautifully told by Carter. I really hope he sticks to his attitude and keeps the car. What many people not understand when seeing a vintage car modified with such a history as his and see it sitting "improperly restored", wearing their aristocratic noses high up is: A car is just like the human who lives with it - it evolves over times, it ages and it goes through the very same stages in it's life as the owner does if the car stays with the owner. Carter's story is absolutely sweet - the car being crashed and manhandled in teenagers attitude and lack of knowing better at the time. It looks beautiful now and surely gives the owner all the pleasure, it's value indeed priceless to the owner I am sure. Who knows - it might even stay around to be given a concours restoration by Carter by the time he hits his 40's Thanks for telling the story Carter and thanks to Petrolicious for presenting it with the style we all love these stories to be told as true car nuts.

[@MostGenericUser]

I fucking hate when people say somethig like, "why are you putting so much money into your car? You're never going to get it back." They generally are just Joe Smoe who sees a car as an object to get from point A to Point B and don't understand. Like he says in the video we don't care about resale value because we build the car we want, not a car to sell.

[@eddygeoffry7596]

Maybe because Joe Smoe has already been down that path and seen the reality of making a living in this time and age. Its easy being a 12 year old and getting a boner over a project car, when you get your licence kid then talk.

But whatever you do, do NOT go into their country illegally or their police will arrest you and deport you immediately (which is typical of any country around the world except the United States).

It too was orange and and nicknamed the “Pumpkin” by my friends. I bought it from a dealer for $500 and it had a lot of problems. But, for all its problems, on a good day it was magic.

How to build your dream car: Step one - crash it.

[@ef_danielsan]

Part of this is true. My best friend's car got rear ended, insurance company declared it salvaged. They paid him on it and offered him the car for an additional $300 at the time. He didn't want it because it broke his heart that his car was wrecked. I paid the $300 to him, registered the car as salvaged, and actually drove it around for a bit because while the frame was bent, the car was driveable. I couldn't ever sell it, as in my heart I felt he gifted me the car. After a few years, I only took it out occasionally, but it was mostly garaged. Almost 20 years later, as middle aged men, both of us are restoring it in my garage. As we were happily gutting the car recently to access the frame damage, I said, "if this car hadn't gotten into that accident, you would've probably sold it by now". Both of us felt it was a blessing that we got a second chance with this car.

I’ve been wanting to know the songs for years 😕

[@christianstiltner1104]

I'd pay more for a 2002 that looked like that than a stocker.

[@TRIPPLEJAY00]

Now thats a great story.

I was 15 when I got my first car. I learn how to drive and fix my own vehicle. Today it has saved me thousands of dollars on repair cost on my vehicles through the years...

[@nikitk9]

Loved this video..." It doesn't matter how much this car's worth, I'm not gonna sell it", well said my friend

[@mellanone3860]

This car makes me depressed. When I was 16 I wanted to get it as my first car. It was about 200-300€ cause nobody wanted them. When I turned 18 they were already at like 5000 and now its 10000 just for a rolling chassis...

[@paperbeatsrock_]

Which car? I'm placing my bets on the car being the Datsun 240Z, cause I'm pretty much in the same boat, except I'm 17 and the prices are already sky high... I'm afraid to see what prices will be when I'm ready to purchase a car to build.

[@adventureofalifetime3019]

Why am I crying after watching this video? What a love story!! Kudos to you bro. I hope I get to have a car that shapes me like it did you.

[@trafficcheckbacau8023]

Touching story. All covered in goosebumps...It's sweet,amazing and beautiful how a machine can help a man go through rough times in his life... Most of people say "Meh...it's just a bunch of metal 'n stuff" but NO ! For me,it is a lifestyle,I can't live without my little rusty Golf 3. I hope I will keep her on the roads all my life. Drive safe and take care of your rides,brothers ! I am sure that your rides take good care of you,with every ignition and bolt.
