Welcome to my sketchy garageWhere dreams are held together with zipties and JB Weld
I've inherited this shop from my grandfather and spent almost all my life savings cleaning it up, as it hasn't been opened since the late 80's. I moved here with $20,000 left and I'm planning to turn this garage into a customs and restoration shop. But for now, I'll just be building my own cars in the garage and seeing how I can turn a profit around here.  The first car I found checking out the area was at a local JDM warehouse. The facility mostly dealt with motors for Volkswagen, Audi, and BMW, but they did also have a limited stock of JDM engines. They said they usually get the engines out of cars that have had the front half cut off because the cars aren't legal themselves, but they mentioned a 1-UZ they had that came in an old race car chassis they have out back. When they showed me I realized that it wasn't a race car, it was Silvia set up for D1SL.  I knew they had no idea what it actually was meant for, so I offered them $3000 for it, but I guess they saw some some potential in it because the countered with $3500. I took it and had them tow it the garage for an extra 50 bucks.  The car is solid, even has a tube front end, but no diff, no engine, and no engine mounts. I threw some spare wheels on it so i can roll it around the shop. I plan on fabing up some mounts for an LS and getting a nice base LS to build off of. Starting With V$20,000
Car Chassis: -V$3550 Final V$: 16,450 |
