Thinking of getting a car that I can tinker with while still having it near being driveble every other day. Sort of thing where I can fiddle with the engine and bay as a whole as an ongoing project.

Bonus points for a molestable non-V8

i dont think any vehicle you are tinkering with will be driveable every other day unless you are a pro mechanic. even relatively straight forward projects will leave you waiting for parts sometimes, at least that has been my experience.
>>
>>29060276
do you want another vehicle that does the same thing as your daily or one that serves a different role, e.g. an offroader or load hauler, perhaps something you can sleep in?
>>

Why would you want a non V8 when you still have the freedom to own a V8? A GMT800 isn't a car but it's a vehicle that's very lego like. You could strip the engine down to the bottom and and put it back together again in an afternoon if you really want.

That's not that impressive.

Please tell me there are ratchet straps holding that frame together

>>29060756
The parking brake cables are probably the only thing holding that frame together.

GMT800 schizo again...

Plenty of people enjoy the Mx-5 Miata as a tinker friendly car.

While both of the people in this picture are assuredly dead from lung cancer, the Miata is still alive and well

I am usually not an advocate for bastardising cars but these things came with such anaemic unreliable leaky shitty sardine tin ass motors that they're prime candidates for a hayabusa engine swap. How fun would that be. Plus they are pretty cheap and usually rusty af. This goes for most of these old bong roadsters not just the MG.

Sorry I didn't read the part about it needing to be driveable every other day. I just saw the Beetle and assumed you were chasing real shitboxes
