Should You Buy Someone Else's Project Car?

This week, Ethan and Jack take a look at Edwin's newest purchase; someone else's half finished project car E36. We'll see if it was a massive mistake and not worth the £1500 price, or if it might turn out to be a great deal on a DIY project car.

I bought a Volvo 740 off a chap. He’d entirely rewired it to his own random pattern, and then handily resprayed under the bonnet so all the wires were the same metallic silver. The horn was connected to the indicator, it wouldn’t start with the door open, things like that. So that was fun.

Don't you want to just restore/upgrade everyone's current project cars? You could say how much can you save in a car for £2000, or maybe Mods that will save your projectcar for £1500. You get the point, still a business expense and still clickbaitable, while being relateble on a level and most importantly you guys would love it just as much as we love a bring back to live series.

1500 GBP for that is... bad. Like, really bad. Maybe the markets are different from the US to GB, but that's a U-Pull-Yard scrap pile here in the US. Or, in other words, max of $1k. With the rust, probably less.
