Cheap car builds could go either way: crazy or genius. Then again, we can’t decide which this under-$1,000 build from Casey’s Customs falls under. While grafting an original Ford Mustang onto an E39-generation BMW 5 Series chassis sounds bonkers, Casey had to split the Mustang in half for this widebody conversion, making it even crazier.
Casey bought the Mustang for $300 after discovering it sitting in a field somewhere, while the wrecked BMW from a salvage yard was acquired for $600. Having been left out in the open for quite a few decades, one could say that the Mustang is a little too far gone to spend money on for a complete restoration.
With a Sawzall and a grinder, Casey gutted all the unnecessary metal off the Mustang and kept just the exterior panels. The opposite was done to the BMW, with all the external panels shaved off it.
