Something I thoroughly enjoy doing for a budget is changing all the globes in the car to LED, license plate, Parker’s, headlights, interior and reverse, maybe $80 max for all the globes and definitely sharpens up the aesthetics

Dude, you are the low-buck guru! I've been doing cheapo stuff for 50 years, and you have gotten the whole thing immediately. I agree completely with your list. A first timers' best friends are junkyards, internet forums, and Marketplace (although this grizzled ol guy thinks it sucks compared to craigslist used to be...). And as I have said before, you are the king of driveway paint jobs, I applaud you encouraging this- if it doesn't work, sand it off and try again!! I usually try to cut out the stock muffler and replace it with either a straight pipe or a cheap glasspack muffler. My daily F150 sports a Summit $16.99 glasspack, it sounds pretty much like a $500 dual exhaust... I would love to talk to you some about shade tree bodywork, I have decades of experience there, and honestly prefer that to mechanical work. I'm in NC, not totally neighbors, but I'd love to help you up your game there. Did I shudder over the LS400 fender? No... not much... It was a really good first effort. You have good editing and video, good content, and a great welcoming approach. Keep up the good work!!!

One thing i can say is if your looking to modify a car you should take up welding like i did especially if your buying a older car makes it easy to do exhaust mods and you can do your own rust repair if you live in new England like me

rear view mirror attachment for wider view led lights for interior foot wells window wints chrome delete air diffusers for your roof sway bars LED light conversion (interior, headlights,blinkers, license plate lights, brake lights and reverse) evil eye on headlights. get some vinyl wrap from autozone or reputable source and mask out a design you like mud flaps for certain cars or if you like that look cool looking lug nuts grill delete (convert stock grille to mesh) these are all really basis budget mods. not everyone will agree they look nice but i think they can seriously change the look of your car

This is my list of priorities when new car comes( sorry for not perfect english, im from spain (Europe) but i follow you since a year and a half almost) 1- Engine and maintenance (oil and liquids, spark plugs, air filter...) 2- clean interiors and exteriors ,and fix all stuff in your car (broken seats, not working doors, bad windows, etc) 3- fix the "hits" in car and work on rust if exists 4-upgrade wheels 5-upgrade suspension 6-upgrade exhaust 7-now u can put front lip and interior stuff (better looking) 8-work on the visuals but ALWAYS, almost for me, is better if u go on a good mechanical bad looking car then a good looking and disaster mechanical car

Thank you for not telling people to cut their springs. So many people fall for that and it's a bad idea no matter what "friend" did it and it was "just fine". Yeah no. don't ever cut your springs to lower the car.

Hey I have a question about springs: I heard some people say they ruin the original shock absorbers, some people say they won't affect them at all. What's the truth about it?
@SizzaE602 жыл бұрын
Know a lot of people that run springs and haven’t heard anything bad from any of them. I’m actually going with springs and brand new shock absorbers instead of coilovers
@thenuclearflow36252 жыл бұрын
The stock shocks will constantly be compressed at the lower spring height, so they will rebound like you’re going over a bigger bump, and this probably cause them to wear out over time
