It's a weird fascination some people have. They see something they like, but are bugged to no end that it doesn't perform like something else... so they go all Tim Allen on it until it does.
Sometimes it works, sometimes they're just fixing it until it's really broken.

My personal projects, had I the resources and mechanical know-how, would be an early 80's Jaguar XJS, or a mid-to-late 70's MGB.
I dig British cars... I hate the weak/difficult motors and Lucas electrical systems.
