Hey, I just thought of something :idea: What ever happened to the "whatever your budget is....double that" theory?

This lol.

I did basically the same thing, started w/ a nice restored car and wanted suspension, wheels, etc to make it more fun/look cool. Turned in to replacing everything: LSA, TKO 600, Ridetech, Z51 brakes, all new lines, Corbeau's etc. Needless to say my under 10k original budget ended up double yours.:hairpullout:

Of the completely functioning driver I bought, I reused the body/subframes, carpet, rear seat, dash pad, rear bumper, axle housing and main wiring harness...

Anything you are taking off the car that can be sold? This will help add to your budget.

Hi.
 

Hi, as Tony mentioned there will be buyers for the the items you remove from the car that are of no further use to you, or if the opportunity presents itself swap parts for labour on things that you are not comfortable doing yourself. the guy's all make valid points. I personally don't have an unlimited budget so I do a bunch of research, ask a lot of questions and keep an eye out for items that represent good value for money, I wont buy something just because it's the cheapest available or anything, but for example, I wont spend thousands of dollars on a flash billet accessory drive set up, I'll buy a nice set of billet pulleys and brackets and put the money saved into things that you just should not scrimp on. Good Luck and Cheers. Trevor.
