Is Buying someone else’s Project Car worth it?

This week on Money Pit, we take a look at answering the age-old question: Is buying someone else’s project car a good idea? It seems like a good way to save some money on aftermarket parts that you would end up buying anyway, but it can definitely be a huge can of worms. Come along as we inspect James’ new project car to see if he made a good move or just flushed his cash down the ol’ money pit!
We have a new channel!

It would be interesting to see him learn as he works on the car, or who knows? Maybe he is just as good or better than Jobe and can make some really cool videos. Either way I hope we see more of the Trueno.

[@WitchPilled]

Your analogy is perfect for car guys in their 20's/30's. I bought a Z31 300zx turbo years ago from a friend and felt like I had to go back to school to work on a vg30det. A few weeks ago I found a pristine Z32 roller and felt relieved knowing I could swap anything I wanted rather than another vg30 lol.

Ok, so neither person is technically wrong. Animé is a type of cartoon, but when you call animé a cartoon, you make it sound as though grown adults are watching animation intended for children and only children. You can be a fan of animé, you can be a fan of American animation (even if it’s done by a Japanese studio), but somehow, when you start calling animation “cartoons,” well, you’re not watching Initial D, you’re watching Wacky Racers, even though you’re an adult and need to grow up! It’s like they’re not “toys,” they’re “collectibles.”

Sorry, but you're in the wrong place. These dumbasses are complete noobs when it comes to cars and how they work. Or how to even work on them for that matter. Yea they can talk about cars and make videos on them and talk about how they're "car guys" all they want but a polished turd at the end of the day is still a turd. Now if you really want to learn about cars, I suggest you subscribe to channels like Car Wizard or Hoovie's Garage. And as much of an asshole that I think he is, Scotty Kilmer. You'll actually learn something useful from them.

[@PizzaParkersGarage]

So if some of you in the comments section are considering buying a heavily modded car, here’s my advice. If you are inexperienced with cars, DON’T. I’ve seen it time and time again where people will buy a car like this, and it overwhelms them very quickly. Just buy a factory bone stock car and start with a blank canvas. Learn as you go! It becomes your car, you start to get a “feel” for that car. You’ll recognize when something is wrong. When a car is this heavily modified from the get go, and you don’t know what’s going on you’ll drive it into the ground without realizing

[@SamDaMan-ov6hl]

I see your pov, but for some people, there's no other way to learn, I'll respectfully agree and disagree with you

[@223jacob]

SamDaMan2236 that’s why it all depends on the person and experience.

[@C4_stephen]

I would agree but if I found a cheap treno I would not pass that offer even if it was heavily modified

[@PizzaParkersGarage]

So just to clarify, if it’s something small like a car with some coilovers and exhaust, sure that’s fine. A newbie isn’t going to struggle anymore with that than a factory car. But if we’re talking something with a fancy engine swap/a car with some stuff that’s been custom wired etc etc, I’d say that’s a bit much for a newbie to get into. It pains me to see people I know who made that mistake and now they have cars sitting in their driveway for over a year because they can’t tackle something like that

[@rhubarbpie2027]

You should get an aftermarket shifter knob for that

This is now my favorite video on this channel. Knowing I can follow this guide, if you will, for my 1989 Toyota Tercel EZ Hatchback is awesome! I think I have the closest car I can get to the Ae86 withought actually having the Ae86.

AE86: Belts squealing James: That's just the supercharger

The delivery guy is a paid actor in many money pit episodes change my mind.

[@224rebels]

Could also feel a wheel bearing shaking left and right... And ball joints by shaking up and down. Only certain cars really need the pry bar trick.

[@SuntJack]

So much respect for good mechanics!

[@DmOcRsI]

Did he mention how much he paid for it? Cause, let's be honest... that's a HUGE factor.

[@takcleberry]

Nope, also considering how much they go for now, it must’ve been a HUGE price as well

[@MzRtS12]

at least we know that the price wasn't high enough to give him a heart attack (love you James ❤ stay health)

[@squeeezers]

i remember seeing it on craigslist a little while back, i believe it was listed around 13,000 to 14,000. however they could've negotiated on a lower price

[@th3R0b0t]

@@squeeezers That's honestly. . . Not bad, considering what I see they go for now. I was wonder if they were ever even going to mention the price. They could've been really vague and got the point across, not saying anything is just a terrible variable to go with the little nitpick list they wound up with. (Ie. Nit pick stuff, and he paid 4,500. He got a smokin deal, and I would've bought it my damn self. At 25,000, he got hosed, cause bodies beat, and at that kind of price, more original parts would be expected)

@Noah Boden What people ask for and what they take are usually very far apart.

[@fujiwaratofucafe]

Glad to see you have an 86 now James :) I remember you said you gonna get yourself an 86 when you guys shooting our 86 ! Congrats!

[@tcmr5775]

Your 86 is so sick dude! Love it

[@daithioreganmusic3913]

Loving the wheeler dealers vibe off this vid, gave me some nostalgia 😀

[@CraigTaylor]

17:43 Nice cameo of the UPS guy dropping off more car parts

[@stephenrohrbacher5919]

"People like him, people like me, we love pieces of crap like this, and we love spending our spare time working on em.". 😂 Story of the last four years of my life.

[@dashieltucker2748]

I can relate ☝️

[@michaelspence3923]

Ha ha right!!

[@rickystorm201]

story of the last 13 years of my life lol and i have had 3 of these ae86's but all coupes.

[@kevindennis472]

3:11 “Let’s rip this little turd” 5 seconds later... “THIS THING IS SICK!!!”

[@seanissomething]

I think that was a little TRD joke, cause the seat belt cover

[@kevindennis472]

seanissomething Haha didn’t think about that until now!! 😂

[@dannyboy-nm2kp]

MORE OF THIS PLEAAASE!

[@hamsamich9]

We would love to see update videos on this project.

[@arvmotiv]

Lol I remember 2 years ago when James voice was so calm when talking and now hes screaming like a little kid 😂😂

[@bishopm4401]

He seems so much more comfortable now than in those old videos. And lively lol

[@arcanask]

He just added MOPOWAHBABEH into his voice.

[@TCUSB]

LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING!

[@skiddy527]

[@NamelessGlasses]

Should've gotten a blue 240z from the other cartoon.

[@hybridAbsol]

That car from the toon is gonna get waxxed by a Prius or Jazz

whoever does the job on those awesome music and soundtrack, deserve a raise...those are awesome...

[@SidewaysGts]

Thankfully its *amazingly* easy to pull the transmission off an ae86. Ive had them off to do a clutch job and back on in a matter of hours.

[@SilverBullet93GT]

17:44 UPS guy is delivering extra herspers to Donut Media :)

[@user-ch7kb7pe5r]

You guys need to keep this guy. He's great.

[@carlosandrade8885]

Definitely my favorite channel to watch 💯

[@johnnyclark6182]

6:10 he drops a screw and doesnt even react in any way to it or acknowledge it for that matter, what a pro 😎

[@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt]

Show must go on 😎
