In this riveting episode of Ideal, we embark on a quest to unearth the ultimate project cars that break free from the ubiquitous Miata mold. First up, we have the iconic Fox Body Mustang, a beast known for its affordability, speed, and a roaring 5L V8 engine that's a modder's dream. With parts galore and various body styles to choose from, this Mustang is a canvas waiting for your personal touch. Just watch out for rust and those lackluster stock brakes - a small price to pay for the thrill this American classic promises.
Moving on, we delve into the realm of BMW with the revered E36 3 Series, a chassis that's as legendary as they come. Boasting exceptional handling and a reputation for reliability, the E36 is a blank canvas for your wildest modding fantasies. However, beware of those pesky cooling system issues and subframe cracks that may rear their head. But fear not, with a cooling system overhaul and some choice mods, this Bimmer can transform into a corner-carving masterpiece that won't break the bank.
Next on our list is the Toyota Celica GTS, a hidden gem with a high-revving engine that's music to any enthusiast's ears. Lightweight, nimble, and equipped with a manual six-speed transmission that rivals even the finest supercars, the Celica is a rare breed on the road. While oil consumption and lift bolt concerns may linger, a few choice mods like a cold air intake and exhaust can unleash the true potential of this underrated gem. So, if you crave a high-revving, corner-carving experience without draining your wallet, the Celica might just be your ticket to automotive bliss.
