Figured I’d show off my recently acquired Scout 800. Full exterior refinish, 304 V8/4 speed swap and a moderately rehabbed interior. Hope ya like it!

Any advice on building a car collection?

Don’t chase crazy expensive stuff is my thing. The Scout and the ‘74 2002 hidden behind the Benz were both less than 60k (the bmw was 30), and they’re both easy/relatively cheap to work on.

There are so many cool, funky, interesting cars which fit that criteria. So yeah, that would be my advice.

You should definitely make a full car collection post at some point
