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.

I'd say any of the 4 cylinder Toyota, Honda, and Nissan cars would be a safe bet. Not sure about Puerto Rico, but in the southern U.S.A. trucks are also popular. Then your V8 powered U.S. made coupes are also popular, again here anyway. You could go through some local wanted ads and see what people are looking for to get an idea.
