pretty much wanna have it ready in the summer.
WINTER PLANS:get engine runnin inside car along with new tranny,minor general engine work (eg. timing belt, water pump, tensioner, plugs, wires etc.) also plan on gettin the suspension worked.throw some lowering springs and good shocks, bushings,balljoints.

SUMMER PLANS:basically interior will get replaced.

shop crane i bought at pep boys for about 150. and then about another 30 bucks for the engine leveler. its a pretty good deal actually. especially since it folds up for storage

exactly........or what about your first scratch or dent....your gona cry saying i spent over blah amount of dollars!!!! wahh... cant spped on the highway anymore...or at least tailgate anyone (semis, rockchips). better be nice to people otherwise they will know the car. and you always have to walk so far from parking way out in the lots. just my opinion guys...sorry...i would rather spend the money in speed goodies.....the car wont look good forever and you could always sell your speed goodies to others......
