Well my job put me in the right place at the right time.. I have a customer's car that I have worked on for the last 4 yrs. The last time the car was in I actully looked the car over with the intention of getting it when she traded it in. Well It has some issue that she just wants it gone. I can get it. But Sooner than I thought (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) (This is my biggest issue right now)
I always don't like ripping apart a new car. And to make it into a race car Im going to have to change/freshen most parts anyway. My big isssue is powertrain on the car. Its a v-6 and at. So a new motor/tranny(std) and supporting hardware would have to be gotten. But its still cheaper this way(The car is free).. Then buying a v-8 car(more money) and replacing everything on that too. At this time of yr with Snow in the air, I wasnt really even thinking of doing this, and might have a problem with storing it for a bit.. Let me know what you think.. John
