Rob even offers some financial advice, so be sure to pay attention and learn from his experience. I'm not going to ruin the story for you, so I suggest you watch it yourself. The YouTube creator was explaining how his life was going before the pandemic and how he struggled financially while building a custom engine for his Mazda RX-7. Just at the end of October, I was watching Rob Dahm's video about his four-rotor Mazda RX-7. It is a sad truth, but many see these incomplete projects as a shortcut when you are just helping someone else cut their losses short. The sad part is that it is wise to refrain from buying them if you want to complete the project unless your budget can handle doing everything again, as you cannot be sure of the quality of the work that has been done to the vehicle. That is why you often see incomplete project cars for sale. It will also take you longer to complete that build if you ever manage to do so.


like if you decide to up the horsepower goal or something along those lines, the total cost of your build will be dramatically increased. Mind you, if plans change during the project or just before it is completed. How expensive? The answer depends on each build and its final goal. Before you embark on the journey of a project car, you must consider the fact that it will be more expensive than the sum of the parts you want to buy. Since this month is autoevolution's tuning month, you may have considered embarking on a project car of your own. This happens whenever someone with no experience in the field tackles a complex task with many variables. Or, to put it more lightly, we underestimate the difficulty of a project car based on what we have seen online. I believe that there is also a cognitive bias here, where we, the viewers, lie to ourselves about the difficulty of a project car we imagined after watching countless projects being completed.

In many cases, starting and completing a project car is harder than posts on a forum, and YouTube videos might lead you to believe.
