Good luck for me, what to do is the question...

[xr8d302]

I have 2,199.69 cents at my disposal right now. I've been thinking too much about how to spend that, and I can't figure out which way to go.....

I could just do the bodywork I've been waiting on, grab the exterior peices I've been wanting and get it painted....

I could get a lot deeper into my engine and start trying to make serious power. Right now, I've already got a cam, Intake, heads should be on the way. Plus, I've got all the shiny bolt ons, the suspension's fine, wheels and tires are taken care of....

Both sound great, I'm so confused....help

What do you REALLY wanna do?

 

[nmcgrawj]

You say u have the heads, cam and intake already on the way. So let the motor be for now. Do the body work u want to do and whatever left over you have put it towards a tune or something.

I don't have a clue man.....but that 2 tone paintjob is really calling my name

Nate - I think I'm floating this way too....time to start stripping the car, as well....blah

hahahah what a smart ass, but it's still a pretty good question.
Be careful Joe, the way your economy is going, our dollar might be worth more again pretty soon

I would say...
okay hold up, so it's either a body kit OR a two-tone paint job?

I cant see it being possible to get a body kit and a two tone QUALITY paint job for $2200. Unless he's got someone to paint it for really cheap...i dont know how he would get it done. With color changes there is a lot more labor to do it "right". I wouldnt take shortcuts with something like that.


I would definately do looks with the cash u got now. But between a body kit(which one btw?) or the two tone paint job, well i just dont know. I think two tone

this is true, but if he did decide to go with a salee rep kit, you could probably score one for $600 us...

that being said, i would concur with the idea of getting the body kit first... get it all together, painted, mounted... and drive that bitch around for a year.
only after then, you'll probably forget all about your two tone paint idea

wouldnt 2199.69 cents be $219.97~ ???

Would that be urethene?

 

[diablostang]

Would that be urethene?

Probably not. I priced out a Urethane Reproduction Saleen kit for just over 1K US.

haha, i'm a step ahead....that's American dollars, I figured talking in Canadian bucks would have you guys all confused....so I took all the work out of it for ya's

Edit - also, I have somebody that works with me in the army that has a second job/hobby of rebuilding old hot rods and everything else under the sun. He's done some pretty sweet paintjobs, and he said he'll help me out no problem. The parts and supplies will be my biggest cost. The body kit should really only consist (for the time being) of some side exhaust side skirts, a cobra bumper (with lip) and a xenon wing. The hood will come later....the rear, I'm still undecided

smartass

 

[stprorolla49]

smartass

yea what can i say....im still aweful at math...it took me a while to find out where to put the decimal place

 

[95riosnake]

wouldnt 2199.69 cents be $219.97~ ???

to change cents to dollars, you divide by 100....so move the decimal two to the left.... $21.99~

Thats all for the math lesson today, class.

Well if thats the case, then do the body parts and paint
