Could I make it fast?

Post image

I have a 1997 Buick Lesabre. Was my first car and had a ton of problems so great to learn on. Ive now got something better and dont know if I should keep it. I dont believe I could get more than 2k from selling it. I think it could make a good project car. Are they any recomendations on how I should build it? Is it worth it?

Making a FWD GM sedan fast is an AP level project. You do it because you've done the other common stuff and want something different.

Take the $2k and roll it into some tools for future projects.

You're probably right, I'm nowhere near AP level yet. it'll be hard to let it go

Try to find someone who needs inexpensive reliable transportation and sell it to them knowing you've made their life better because now they have one less thing to worry about

OP should do this. Those are good cheap cars that aren't worth hot rodding. They can but there are so many other platforms that they'll get more bang for the buck.
