Subject: Re: Budget build, what are you giving up? by Danspeed1 on 2008/11/27 21:19:35 I've made this mistake for years, and I still find myself making the same mistake. Yet the COOLEST cars on the road are the rust bucket fox body mustangs you see people running 10's in all day long. We did this with our C4. Purchased the most expensive parts, one by one, waiting till we had everything to put it together. And you know what happened. We sold the car, and I had to resell all those accumulated parts at a lower price than I paid. I remember in high school, (I can remember one car very specifically) a guy with a mid 80's cutlass with a 307. He put the engine together for like $800. It was a freak of junkyard parts, and head porting with a dremel. It was the fastest car cruising up and down the road on Friday night though. I always had the car that had the shiny stuff on it... and didn't go anywhere... Kind of like my Impala SS now :rolleye: with its $2000 Rear end, and Edge Converter, and Goodyear GS-D3's that suck in the cold weather, and sling gravel from the road all over the car. DG |
