Underrated Gems: What’s Your Go-To Budget Build Car?

I’ve always loved hunting for those hidden gems cars that don’t cost much but turn into absolute monsters with a little work. You know, like the Fox Body Mustang or the E36 BMW. They’re cheap to pick up, have tons of aftermarket support, and just respond when you start tweaking them.

Lately, I’ve been eyeing the Nissan 240SX. Rust can be an issue, but if you find a clean one, the SR20 or even an LS swap makes it a blast. What’s your favorite under-the-radar build? Any models that surprised you with how much potential they’ve got?
