While a Sim is working on the engine, the engine may backfire and belch black smoke, which will cause the Sim to stop working on it. Fully restoring either the body or engine takes about six game hours of labor, but Sims will probably need to take breaks, as working on the car is hard on the comfort, energy, and hygiene motives.
This does not appear to be required, but adds a touch of realism. If the car is not being worked on, a Sim can rev the engine. A Sim can work on the body or on the engine, and one Sim can work on the body while another works on the engine. Working on the car builds Mechanical skill, though only half as quickly as studying, and also builds enthusiasm for the Tinkering hobby. The unfinished car can be placed back where it was, and Sims can continue working on it, but no other car can use that spot.
While an unfinished car can be placed in a Sim's inventory, it remains linked to the driveway section it was on, and that driveway section is still considered to be "in use" by the car. Like other cars, it must be placed on a driveway. It is found in the Hobbies/Miscellaneous section of Buy mode, and costs §800-making it the cheapest vehicle in the game. The One Man's Junk Car by Mechanically Minded is a hobby object featured in The Sims 2: FreeTime. All it needs is a little affection and elbow grease.
Have you dabbled with some of the small creations available from Mechanically Minded? Are you ready for some more? Are you ready for the motherlode? One Man's Junk Car is Mechanically Minded's biggest do-it-yourself "kit" - a run down car, in need of a new engine and body work.
