"You should build cars the average person can afford" is something we have seen written all over social media whenever a new car build breaks cover - and this is true for our videos, as well as a lot of our mates making videos. As the prices for our favourite 1980s and '90s nuggets rise dramatically thanks to dwindling stocks and surging nostalgia, our corner of the car hobby is getting very expensive... let alone the cost of chrome bumper classics! So, what do you people wanting to get into their first build, or someone wanting a simple build on a tight budget, do?...

At the end of May 2020 MOOG dropped a new video on the MCM channel showcasing a car he'd wanted to buy for many years: a stock 180SX. You can watch the full reveal HERE but basically the thing is a complete unicorn today, being almost factory-fresh. However, since then one question the boys are smashed with is "what's happening with MOOG's 180SX?" Well, he still owns it and plans to feature it on the show, so we sat down with Mr MOOG to find out a bit more...  After your history with Taylor Drift, what led you to pick up your Museum...
