  • Luke bought his 240SX as a project from the previous owner, so you already know it's going to be nightmare. Watch him and Ben work tirelessly to get this thing close to running and driving again.

    • @agenericaccount3935

      Very correct. Among other things it's more satisfying to improve something that you already have running than it is to perfect it before you hit the key.

    • @crazycar4015
      @crazycar4015 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also I think its easier to stay motivated working on a car that you have at least driven. Working on my Mustang, I really regret not having just finished the brakes and ignition and then driving it a bit before doing anything else. Now the car is in pieces and the systems that allowed it to run are either apart or broken. I'm swapping the transmission taking it from the current ruined automatic to manual. But my friend is the only one who got to drive it, taking it around the block. It gets hard sometimes struggling on a car that I've never experienced even a little bit before. And sometimes I wish I had just finished the brakes and ignition and driven the car a bit before I made it better.
