Are you keeping the parts? Because that'd be rather generous to give them away to your brother.

^ as if giving him a whole car isn't rather generous

It looks like for the most part you're taking your parts off right? I would. Make him build it up himself. He'll learn to appreciate it more and more that way.

The car was beautiful in its prime.

I am keeping the parts or I'll just sell it to him once he finally gets a job and can actually pays for it.

I think they're just stock and my front bumper is flexed in a little so that's probably why it looks like that. I need a new front end in general.

I'm trying to get him into cars, but he says that he just wants something to drive haha.

I'm going to take my time building this one. I'm probably going to work on the motor first.
