    Today is a little emotional for me, because I just found my old dream car, a rare 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, rotting away in a garage in Texas. Will it run? Can it be built? Have I lost my mind?

      In this case, neither are probably correct. It just looked garaged.

      I was looking for mods and inspiration and found freddies car and knew my dream car from then on would be a 3000GT and used his car for inspiration of what I wanted mine to be. From then I found his channel and ended up loving his content and stuck around since then.

Once I get it going though, I'm not selling it! I also got an Eclipse GSX which is like the baby 3000GT. Too bad it's an utter basket case, but I'll keep loving it anyways.

Me personally, I really haven't worked on crap except like cars in auto class back in school - maybe few things outside of that. I did ace that class but now im just not in a position where I can work (no proper power tools, materials..), and I do want to!
      The mid MK 4 Supra is like my dream car but I might not get one once it's too late.

    As soon as you walked into the shop, the very first thing that I noticed is the black Impala SS. That's a car after my heart right there. I currently own a caprice classic, that my grandparents bought brand new in 1994. I fell in love with that car the first time I saw it at just 6 years old, and it was my inheritance when both of them had passed. Sadly, the car had a run in with a flatbed semi trailer and has sat in my garage, untouched, for the last 4 years. I think Its time that I get to work on her and do all the things that I've dreamed about doing to that car.

    I had a 94 3000gt back in the early 2000s as my first car. I miss that car and I always put used tires on it lol. Life was so much easier back then.

    This is reminding of two of my cars:
    1) 1991 Dodge Stealth RT2 - essentially same as this VR4. That was my first awesome car as I bought it after getting my first professional job in 1996 in Phoenix and bought it used but it was practically new.
    I drove it for two years and then traded it in for a:
    2) 1990 Nissan 300ZX with only 8000 miles from an older gentleman. The car had never seen rain (though it does not rain much in AZ). I had it for 4 years and moved it to Maryland and the first snow made me sell it. A young fella drove all the way from Atlanta with his dad to come and get it. The reason being that I let him have it for way below KBB so he could enjoy it.
    I got to look for these two cars and considering this was 20 odd years ago- I’m not sure if they are still being driven. Will post any updates if and when I have them.
    Thanks for sharing this amazing video.
