I'm making a ChumpCar/Lemons racers. For those that don't know, that's a race car with a $500 value.

Here's what I'm starting with. Luckily, I don't think I overpaid.

Looks like I have some pressure washing and some serious disassembly in my future!

The dash is pretty bad... but if you want it, I'll sell it!

I just pressure washed 1/2 the car.

I'll need a front bumper piece and a headlight cover.

I think I might actually have a pair of red headlight covers...and as long as the dash is complete and still "in shape" as in no huge raised up cracks it should be OK for my purposes...

Hay Van I got a spare front bumper and some headlight covers if you want... shoot me a PM.

And knowing you Van, you better not make it look too nice or you will be hit with the curse!

This is going to be a fun build to follow! Better put some peanut butter nearby to draw the mice away from their castle !

do yourself a favor

1. dont get too attached to the car being nice

2. make a theme and have fun with it

3. start collecting craigslist ads now of cars that run and are $500 or less- you need 10 for your AIV. average internet value

4. build one good motor that will last and replace everything.

5. make sure your cooling is perfect and all your hoses are tied up....well you know why.
