It will be slow, crappy and feel ancient by the time you are done restoring it.

Then you will have to tell all the realisits and pragmatisits that 'I KNOW WHAT I'VE GOT"

Honestly, just grab life by the pussy and buy something new. You have the current gen mustang in your backwaters shitty country, right? Get that.

Restoration is a huge pain in the ass. You picture it as spending days and nights in the garage bringing a poor old car back to life when in reality you'll be spending days and nights on the internet searching for parts and haggling with boomers because they want $300 for a door handle sinceyou absolutely need it for your car to be correct. Any shop work is incredibly expensive if you run into something you can't do. There are places that'll restore a car for you and it costs around $40-50k which is more than street value. Do yourself a favor and buy one in the condition you desire.

the problem is muscle cars really only work in america.
Outside America they're more of a cheeky "just for the laff" than a real sportscar.

Yea I guess if you wanna be wrong

Why? I thought Subaru was a reliable brand?

What's with the gold duct tape on #2?

Helps keep intake air cool. Supposedly that tape reflects heat.

Or covering a leak

I was actually wondering if this is any good myself.

Anyone know if this is actually good and not full of memes?

I've had a GW1-C for 8 months now, for $50 and it's been great. Beware of knockoffs for absurdly cheap prices. Also had an SD card fail but that was not the fault of the camera. Check it every once in a while, you should be able to see the screen's reflection in a window if it's facing glass, and look for the blinking red dot.

Would it be worth to spend another 50 for the rear camera?

I should also mention with my license I cant drive a V8 in my state for the next couple of months, otherwise I would fly up there and pick it up

>I should also mention with my license I cant drive a V8

What kind of eurocuck country is this?

>>16195553
Australia have "P plates" for a probationary license
you get less demerit points so it's easier to lose your license and depending on the state there are power limits

for example in Victoria where I am, we have 4 years of P plates, cant drive V8's or cars with turbo/superchargers except for I think post 2012 when they changed to a maximum power/weight

general rule though is no V8/TC/SC

I've been driving a V6 until now and I just want a fucking V8 before fuel makes them impossible to own ever again

>I'm 22 next month and can finally legally drive a real car

Why the fuck can't you afford a 90's pick-up with cash? Literally 800-1.5k on Craigslist

>>16195583
Not exactly a cheap one lol.. Broncos normally cost 6-10 grand, my man.

How the fuck is your score only 650?

Mine is over 800 and I haven't really taken any big loans.

As in Mercedes?

>>16195225
Older subie forester. I have one, it's comfy.

Smg is a manual transmission that automatically puts the clutch in and shifts for you. Though im pretty sure you still have to remove your foot from the gas when youre shifting in the manual mode.

>>16195126
don't. get a manual. there's a reason automatic bmws are cheaper.

>>16195139
>Smg is a manual transmission
"no"

whats the budget (gbp)

Japanese can't make GTs. In your price range how about a clean 840ci?

$10k (that's freedom units) is probably an upper limit, but for the right car I'd consider more.

>>16195030
Is the 8-series fairly reliable? I like the idea of the SC300 mainly because "lol Jap reliability". I mean, if I'm getting a car that is intended to drive for hours and hours on a highway, I don't really want to be left stranded hours and hours from home.

I grab mine by the pussy. It's wore out and the bottoms about to drop out of it.

I grab everything and everyone by the pussy. Boy, girl, car, doesn't matter. If you are near me, I dominate you.

It's a fucking three decades old car. Of course I won't thrash it all the time. I'm glad it's still holding together.
