Well, me and my cousin finally have enough money saved up to start our own small business, a garage, he studied motors and what not, i studied autobody technician. One of the things we would like to do is take a old japanese car that's dirt cheap with minor things to do to it and sell it for profit. So, im trying to get a feel for the market and would like you guys to give me your opinion on whats hot in the old japanese car market and what should be our first project.

Stick with Hondas, they are cheap and can be fixed up for cheap and still net some type of profit. Plus people view them as gas savers and sporty fast cars from fast and the ferocious. I would however, not make it turbo fast and expect to net any profit. Stock cars usually sell faster as long as the paint still looks new and it drives.
