I'm getting hired on at a local body shop by a friend of a friend, and I'm a well practiced self taught mechanic, so I'll be having access to a shop + tools + lift.

Thinking about starting my first real car build, but I want it to be a sleeper.

Just wanted to see what ideas could get thrown around, what favorites are, some videos? etc.

I'm thinking about like a 98 Buick Regal

Ideas?

It would be cheaper for me to just buy an STi swap for my Subaru.

tbh if I saw one of those on the roads I'd just assume it had mods, especially with a really clean body
