I've been thinking about buying popular/sports cars with blown head gaskets and replacing the gasket and re-selling.

you'd be amazed at how cheap people sell cars with blown head gaskets because they think it's the end of the line for that engine. I've seen 180sx's here in ACT selling for $800-$1000 with things like resprays, intercoolers, turbo upgrades etc. but have a blown head gasket.

By DIY'ing it you only pay for the gasket/coolant/oil/possibly a head resurface pretty much and you could resell for WAY more than you payed initially. just need to have the tools and money to start off.

it's an idea anyway.

Or buy said vehicle and part out?

thats what was discussed earlier I think, which is an option but I think in some cases you will profit more from selling a functioning vehicle with those upgrades.

^^ such a good idea.

I want to buy a wreck and strip it and sell it for all it's worth. Would be so much fun

Go to your Honda Dealership (or wherever else)
Take a car for a test drive;
Drive round the block, park it with a For Sale sign for half the market price and wait for the call!
You can only 'borrow' a car for so long, so you'll have to keep rotating vehicles, but it'll work!

I'm 21, I had $3,000 at one point and wanted to turn it into more.

I went to my local motor auctions and I brought a car that was cheap, N15 Pulsar, I replaced the worn carpet brought it for $2,900, sold it for $4,200.

Brought a cressida for $2,000, sold it for $4400.

Paid $800 for an R31 skyline, sold it for $1,300.

All these cars were physically and mechanically in the same condition when I sold them as when I brought them.

I just drove them around for the time I owned them.

Easiest money I ever made.
