For beginners, it’s risky. One mistake in repair can lead to long-term reliability issues.
I’ve made profit from rebuilding cars, but only after careful inspection and cheap parts sourcing.
Some cars are easy to fix, but hidden frame damage can make the rebuild unsafe and expensive.
Rebuilding is only smart if you calculate total repair cost before buying the car. Otherwise it’s a loss.
It can be worth it if damage is minor, but major structural repairs usually cost more than expected.

If you have mechanical skills, it can be a good project. Otherwise it’s better to avoid it 👍
