What is the simplest car(mechanically speaking) to wrench on? IMO Renault twingo because it's literally a chassis, 4 wheels and an engine
Bonus points: car is cheap as fuck and spare parts are common and inexpensive

I don't think I've even ever seen a Twingo engine bay. My fox body is pretty simple though. Would be a lot simpler if not for corrosion.

Those things cost an arm and a leg now that they killed production

It's small, but there's hardly anything in there. You can just look straight down and see the ground in multiple places.

Pick one.

Fiat punto pre-fl, they are horrible pieces of shit, but everything is exactly where you think it would be

I almost wanna say any I6 Jeep, especially CJs. The XJ has a cramped engine bay and depending on the year electronic diagnosis needs either a scan tool or pagan ritual.

They seem to be going up in price sadly

>>16148442
literally this

all of the window lickers on /o/ could probably rebuild an air-cooled vw engine
>>
>>16148442
the baja bug would be even easier than a normal bug, due to the engine hanging out the back.

Any single cyclinder motorcycle with a carb. If you don't like something on it you can remove then hoard it (or sell it).
