My Summer Car – How To Build A Car Step By Step?
My Summer Car is an automobile simulation game where we need to build a car as a main objective. Home alone in the 90s with only 3000 MK in your pocket, the first thing we want to focus on will be survivability. Still, the car plays an essential role as you will have to move to and fro from your house to other parts of the town.
Many players are struggling to build their cars from scratch as they do not know where to start. In this guide, we have listed all the parts that you need to lift and fit on certain parts to make it work.
How To Build A Car Step By Step In My Summer Car?
Your main goal is to build a car whose parts are disassembled and placed in your garage. Well, i.e. bare minimum as the parts are all old and have a low life span. Remember whether you fit old or new parts in your car, the wear and tear of all the parts happen in real time when you drive your car. Therefore, make sure that keep on checking your car twice or thrice a week to stay updated unless your car gets faulty.
The parts need to fit in order and screwed tight to be working. You will find yourself going to and fro most of the time but the major parts can be divided into Chassis, Block, and Interior parts. Follow the steps and build your own Summer Car Satsuma.
Note: After fitting the new parts, make sure you tighten all the screws.

Important Note
Make sure you turn the car ON after doing the wiring. To turn it ON, pull the choke and start the Ignition.
Check the AFR Gauge as it should be on 14.6. To adjust the AFR Gauge, turn the screws in the Headers. The smoke exhaust will also give out white smoke instead of black.
Save the progress as we will go into the Wiring Section in the next post of My Summer Car.
