Learn how you can buy a project car for less than the cost of a new cell phone! Project cars are great for learning how to fix a car and when you are "done" (project cars are never done), you can be proud to drive the car you fixed up!
In this series eBay Motors challenged me to buy a 24hr endurance race car for the 24hrs of Lemons race series. The car I chose had to be fast, reliable, and under $500!

His bmw has 230k milies and leaks oil... mine has 300k milies and the only major problem is the ac and sterio.... lol sucks i cant sell it tho
Chris's enthusiastic energy makes fixing cars seem like a walk in the park. Smh it took me 3hrs to replace my ignition c. and sparks alone.
sell the gear shift nob...some1 will buy it with 40 for sure
now i know what you up 2 now... your videos are coming out very slow recently.... thats why... good, i m looking forward to see how you go in the racing.... keep it up
Sell the spoiler
Mechilan tires are good Chris fix
You can sell the BMW logos on the wheels, and if you can get away with a CEL, sell the SAC pump, not necessary for the car to run good (mine doesn't have one). The pump alone will get you under $500 no problem
I can't believe he exposed that dog's identity, that ain't right.
cool
I have an 03 325i same engine. Picked it up for $3500 That scan tool is great I have the same one. I use a site called FCP Euro for all my parts. Very affordable if you do the work yourself.
Funny how the guy who's an expert at engine swaps also has the weekends of "blown motors" 😂
FACE REVEAL!?
You have pretty eyes Chris.
I really love this channel
I’m sorry I’ve been watching your videos for like two months I’m new to the channel my bad I forgot to subscribe but I did this time keep up the good work
Triple r
Rear seat, Glove compartment, sun visors, rear windows (all of them including the boot), sunroof glass, sunroof motor/assembly, boot lock (just weld or bolt it shut), central locking system, Aircon (pretty valuable, weighs a ton, and takes a lot of horsepower if you use it in race = don't use it in race)... I could go on... there are SO many things which could be pieced out that would basically make a car like this cost next to nothing to race (If you don't count all the safety stuff! LOL)
You should make that Honda Del Sol as a lemons race
His video game catchphrases are hilarious
"$500 car race" Buys $1100 car. Whuh?
Any update on the delsol?
with no space or a big building where to store this cars . and without to know how to repair cars and having the needed car parts such a hard way....
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires would be what I would recommend. If you need it for everyday, you could also do the Pilot Sport 4S, although you'll give up a bit of dry traction in favor of wear life and wet. Still sticky though.
Why BMW 😪😪😪😭😭😭
sell the seats
I miss his drift video’s 😢😢
Hi Chris, i love to see you working ina beemer, i follow m359 restoration channel, it is a guy in Germany that revives old muscle beemers and has lots os advice, tips and knowhow about spare parts brands, qualit and reliability. In his last video he spoke about bremi MAF (air sensors) and he concluded they have dropped in quality and reliability, he reccomends to install BOSH original replacements.
Mickey Thompson tires pastime
Sell center console
Theres a bullet near the ashtray 20:54 🤦🏽♂️😂
Fender bumper
MR CHRIS FIX DO YOU REALLY NEED THE BACK SEATS
faze real
broo why not the e30😩
Goodyear or Michelin for tires
Firestone Firehawk indy 500
14:46 very funny
Can u sell the backseats
Super NES theme to go with your race team intro video.
i think you need a "eat my soapy water" decal somewhere on there
Yes please on all the safety installs.
Really want to try building a race car to go racing so would love to see how all the safety gear gets fitted
your theme should be twisted metal
This dude is amazing! Love the videos
but not widebody
your theme should definitely be soapy water, do a cool water decal on the front of the car flowing backwards to maybe just at the start of the front doors. Good luck with it all man.
Chris more vids i cant wait I really like you more vids please
sell entire cilimate ?
Sell carpet, roof lining, whole interior pieces, doors panels, center console.. that should bring lot of profit
Remove the spoiler it comes with! So u dont have to do any penalty laps!
AC VENTS
Why awd is a problem
For tires, Nitto drag radials are the stickiest tire I’ve seen and are super reliable and last a long time. Super thick tread.
I just bought a 2009 Prius with 192k on it for only $500. I wonder if you know how to fix it? I have tried everything I know, which admittedly is not much with hybrids. The engine starts, then stops and beeps at me. OBD2 is weird and doesn’t read half the codes I need
sell the seats
make all the videos
3:58 who’s he face reveal?
you could try selling the center caps, those will sometimes go for like 60 bucks a pop.
Always check air filter to make sure it's not dirty and replace if needed, then clean MAF sensor before replacing MAF sensors
Sell all the other seats
Floor mats, rear seats, center console, maybe even the glass for the sunroof could also be sold to reduce your penalty laps
Firestone fire hawk Indy500’s super grippy and have a high tread wear . They hold heat pretty good and that’s what I used on my daily challenger that I take to autocross .
I would say sell the entire rear interior, sell the carpet sell the trunk interior, sell the sunroof and associated parts since your swapping it for plexi or lexan anyway. Other than that there’s not much more you can squeeze out of that budget that’s not safety exempt
Yes
Sell the body kit and the carpets, lamps
Chris *shows the BMW* My interest in the channel 📈📈📈
The expectation of "double output" makes me nervous. You KNOW something's gonna blow
You could sale the other seats
Toyo tires
the rear seats will be good to take out the car
You said that it has to be 500 dollars but then you bought a 1100 dollar car... whats up with that?
Toyo or Continental, are the brands that i mount in my cars when i go to the circuit
Sell the turn signals, the vents and the air conditioner and thats it.
Should’ve just bought a 3,000 car and sell all the parts of That’s the case
lets gooo the driftstang is coming baackk
I cannot wait to see the supercharger install...
GIVE THIS MAN 10 MILL!!!!!!!!
Are you selling it when you finish
Well after watching it you took the radio out

The right to the one
Surprised U not concerned about the oil light. Car will be lucky to even finish. But good luck anyways.
I can’t wait for you to put the turbocharger!!!
sell the spoiler
How can you fix a locked seatbelt
Nitto?
"Wooder Racer" should be your theme!!
sell the wing and floor mats
Bro, I used your Mass Airflow Sensor check to fix my 2007 Expedition today. It's been sputtering in idle and on acceleration, so I thought bad fuel pump or filter, but then I remembered this video. I watched it like a month ago. So I unplugged the MAS and the engine did not like that at all, but when I plugged it back in everything was fine. No more hesitation, no more sputtering. I'll probably still replace it. This video saved me a lot of $$ and headaches. Thanks for making them.
I refuse to believe that this guy isn’t TMartyn, the voices are exactly the same
Show us all. 👁👄👁
18:25 Hankook,Michelin but it's expensive, toyo, and Bridgestone
Shifter thing that indicates which gear you are in
What about the glass you were removing anyways and what about the rear seats.
AWD actually helps With Launching, AWD makes all 4 wheels to launch
Sell the other seats?
You could sell the ac parts
At the 20 minute mark I was typing that question and then you answered it about racing an $1,100 car in a $500 car race.
you should install everything you listed as you wanting to install, because that would be cool
