Re: Calling all low buck builds

Here is the thing. It can always be done cheaper, someone will always scoff at your numbers and say he did it cheaper. The fact of the matter is that unless you own a junkyard full of donor vehicles and your best buddy runs a restoration/paint shop your going to have big expenses. I will admit that it all depends on what you start with and what your final goal is.

The 10K I have spent is just to get it to a driver status with almost ZERO mechanical upgrades. Its daily driven and I have a smile for every mile.

My Phase II plans include
$2K for IFS front susp
$1K in new unnecessary rims and tires

PHase III
turbo 5.3 and OD trans

Eventually I will have $20K in it and it will still look like a turd!!!
