So while you're in school with minimum funds, you dump $5K into a car that probably wasn't worth $5k to begin with just so you can eventually sell it for $3K

Does not compute.

... and yes, it is as fun to drive as you would imagine. push button start, leather interior, simpson harnesses, side pipes, no mufflers, no cats, mustang 302 v8 engine.
That's pretty bad ass looking. Kit car I'm guessing? Is it similar to a Factory 5 kit where you cannibalize parts off of a donor Mustang, or was it just the engine?

I just didn't post mine because my parts from Taiwan aren't here yet. Can't be overnighted.

... and yet every day a new person does it and tries to defend their decision.

There is nothing uneducated about running a cold air intake inches from the ground. Whats it give your Barney Fife? An extra 3whp maybe? Did you even dyno to see if it made that much of a difference? Lets get into the fart cannon you put on the back of this car. The extra noise didn't make the car faster. At most another 3-5whp with your dingle cam weed eater motor.



But to add to the thread

Currently building a 03 Wrangler on 1ton axles stretched to a 103-105 wheel base
Some pictures









This is my DD 01 Wrangler
Bought it with 33's and a 2in lift



Since then I've installed 4in lift, 1.25 body lift, 1in motor mount lift, sye kit with driveshaft, 4.88 gears, hp 30 front axle, lockers front/back, rocker skid, adjustable front trackbar, swaybar quick disconnects, 35x12.50/15 Goodyear MTR's, 15x8 soft 8 wheels, rear tire carrier bumper with matching spare tire, hi-lift jack mount to the roll bar, cb radio/mount/antenna, luk stage 1 clutch, came with a softtop and I purchased a hardtop for it as well, windshield mount lights. Got a winch for it in the garage. All I can remember at the moment




I've built some Honda/nissan/mitsubishi a long time ago when I was 18-23 but prefer 4wd's now. A truck later in the future to haul my 4wds around and then I want to start a muscle car project.

My last car I built was a 240sx I got for free. Installed a sr20, drove it for a few months and sold it for double profit




s14 seats front/back

This is my third car I have had and I have been working on it, on and off, for the past 11 months.

Before..



After..







Rear part of the car after it was dry iced and I started sanding



Down to bare metal like the bay was



and finished



If anybody interested in seeing more (or wants more information about the build), I have a ton of more pictures, so just let me know!

and the car overall
