Buying an Excel as a project car... - Hyundai Performance Forums

Occasionally I see old excels selling for like $400 or so...I've been thinking about buying one as a strictly project-only car...

now, a few questions:
Can I somehow keep it off the street and unregistered? I don't wanna pay $3000 in insurance for a $400 project car that's just for me to mess around with!

How much do you think I could build a super ghetto turbo setup for? I'm thinking about digging around in junkyard for kicks until I can turbo the thing for like $400...I read that someone actually pulled that off lol...

hmmm turboed 1993 hyundai excel stripped to be lighter...probably would still be kinda slow though(if I just attempted to rig a superghetto turbo without upgrading the fuel or anything duh) lol...

just get it reistered and unplated(you can't get plates without an insurance slip, well at least in ontario)

you could insure it for fire and theft only! that will only cost you like $10 buck a month!

if you go through with it let me know! i've been thinking about the same project! i think mine would be a project/winter beater!
