    If you did a project car what kind of car would you build up? Just post up a few cars or just one.

    Me:

    Any car from 1969
    STI WRX 2.5RS
    350Z 240SX
    BMW M3
    Supra MR2
    Many Many more.....

    I would either do a:

    1) Silvia S13 with a SR20DET red top.

    2) 1971 Datsun 240Z with an RB26DETT swap but keeping it as stealth as possible.

    3) 2000 Legacy L with an EJ22T/forged pistons and EJ257 heads and a GT35R. Also stealth as possible.

    my buddy and I did a 70s skyline with an rb26dett engine back in australia... I personally want a 3rd Gen RX7 but may do another 1st Gen Rx7 like what I had in Australia... I would love an RX3 or R100 but they are too rare here and $$$$$$

    What I really want to do before I die is a dark blue Sil-Eighty w/ sr20dett pink top (for the gf) or a 60's-70's mini cooper with a honda b-series engine. (for me)

    My project car would be a 2001 legacy GT with a turbo 3.0 H6 and six speed tranny....;)

    oh, other than our actual projects.

    GF impreza wagon with STi drivetrain, in RB5 paint color, with gold rims.

    a 300ZX, MR2 turbo, Galant Vr4(3rd generation body style i believe)

    fully designed/engineered car by myself developed around the STi drivetrain, think 2000lb car with 300hp awd:D

    anything sleeper, or super luxury/power such as a twin turbo escalade, haha.

    I second this except with a ford aerostar as opposed to focus :D You could do minivan burnouts like in that tv commercial and no one would even see the forced V-8 wrath coming.

    Full STI swap into GC RS :p

    I guess the only true project, or project car for me would be basically throwing a WRX enigne into my 93 L with 5MT, AWD drive train and a front mount right away because I want to keep my stock hood.

    You should pick up a copy of next months grassroots motorsports. A mutual freind (Jeremy Butts), of Soren (shoc auto) and I won the 2005 challage with a RX-7.... I think he put a V-8 in it though.
