40 years of Project Cars. Wow, is that a lot of busted knuckles, stripped bolts and lifelong friendships.
At Grassroots Motorsports, Project Car isn’t just a descriptor but a proper noun with huge weight attached to it. And while I’m only 30 years old, I was there in some capacity for the vast majority of the Project Cars in our pages. …
The clear vision/goal thing is so spot on. When I am working to a specific goal, I get a LOT done. Never as much as I'd like, but still quite a bit. Rebuilding the One Lap CRX this past year was one such project.
Often, once I have accomplished the more immediate goal...I then flounder as to what comes next. And the car then sits and gathers dust. I am embarassed to admit just how long a certain orange car has been sitting idly by in garage bay #2.
Be organized and plan ahead. Label things, be neat, have money lol
Take pictures of everything. Before and as you take it apart. Multiple pictures. Different angles. Electrons are free and don't weigh anything.
"I'll remember were everything goes." No, you berkeleying won't.

I feel attacked but also have a sense of comradeship.
Putting Subaru subframes in a Mini, easy, done.
Putting a Subaru center tunnel in a Mini, easy, done.
Making strut towers, easy, done.
Fit an entire 3" turbo-back exhaust next to the transmission and inside the center tunnel above floor height so it can't snag on anything at a rallycross? Easy! Done!
Figuring out how to plumb the coolant back to the radiator and build a rear firewall around a roll cage that isn't there yet... um...let me get back to you on that
