 |
|
Well guys this is my new project, its a budget build. I am looking to have less than $5G in it, lock stock and barrel. Purchase price of the car is around $500. Its a 1993 2.3L automatic car that was wrecked and left for dead.

Then once it was home it was completely disassembled

Then comes the good stuff, used K member from CraigsList.

Then a $7 manual steering rack from the local Pull-A-Part.

Then came the left over V8 front brakes that came from a buddy's car that decided to upgrade to SN95 5 lug spindles.

I pulled the interior out and shampoo'd the carpet and seats, cleaned all the dash and interior plastics and once I got it back together I seen a big pile of left over parts that were on the floor. Does anyone know where these go??

You have a lot more skills/patience than I do man, I have a hard time replacing pieces, not to even mention building a car where I don't know what goes where lol....

Well, its like this. I've never had the money to buy anything nice. Hell, I financed a 1986 F-350. I always have bought and built cars over buying one nice and doing a few things here and there. I am looking to make around 450rwhp for less than $5,000. Make it light and make it fast. |

Just so happens I have a fox roller that I was building that I am going to sale to build this car and I can deliver.
@SuperDan, I am gonna keep the blue one for now. I got it running how I like it, just got a few more tweeks here and there and I will be done with it and just be able to drive and enjoy it.

Well keep it in mind, I am trying to sale it to drum up some funds for the parts I am lacking for this car, or I am 100% up for a trade on the car for parts. Clear title 89 coupe.

Well, I am gonna play with the RS275, but that is kinda getting out of my price and speed range. The class started in the 5.8-6.0 range and has ran all the way to a 5.30 class. I just wanna run 7.0's 1/8th mile, then 100mph in the 1/8th then 6.0's. Those are my current goals. Its gonna be a 302 based engine with a 4R70W for now, street car till they kick me out, lol.

Next year will be even worse, no more weight penalty for F.A.S.T. systems, so the cars will them will drop 100lbs.
