The Midnight Mechanic $500 build - RALLY CAMRY

[Blaze]

Yep, you read that right. We're taking a beat-ass 2007 Camry and building a rally car. Got it from insurance for $350. Our first two videos are up. Here's when we picked it up.

First video:

Then we started making plans for it and saw what it needed.

I think we're going to cut it right at that body line. We'll gain a few inches that way.

There was a trick i saw of a guy "rolling" fender with a socket on an impact between the tire and fender

that's just to roll the inner fender lip out of the way for lowered cars.

Also a terrible way to do it. I've seen the video before.

I have an old wooden baseball bat that I cracked in a game many years back. We use that for rolling the fenders on our lowered cars.

Looking forward to the next video!

Building on zero dollars is up my alley.

Whoa, I just realized that I never updated this thread. You can see all the videos on the YouTube channel, but here's how it ended up. I decided to keep it because it is so dumb, it'll be getting some upgrades here soon.

 

[Blaze]

Ramry getting some upgrades! I think we'll actually fix the alignment too.

For those who missed the original video!
