What is a project car?

A project car is a vehicle purchased with the intention of modifying or restoring it. It's not typically bought for daily driving in its current state. The owner plans to spend time and money improving or changing aspects of the car, which could range from simple cosmetic upgrades to extensive engine swaps or complete body restorations. The project can be anything from a minor refresh to a complete ground-up rebuild, depending on the owner's skills, resources, and goals.
