Build engine first or get project car first?

[AyannaJones]

If you're more into general mechanics, I'd suggest getting the project car first. This way, you can tear it down, understand its design and see what's needed. Plus, there might be a good Hyundai Tucson engine for sale that you can get at a great price. But, if you're into specialized engine work and want to focus on that first, it could also work the other way round. It's a matter of personal preference really.
