That being said, my revised goal is $30,000. This is to get it on the road and running reliably, mind you. It's not including later upgrades like a ridetech suspension and a new paint job.

So, today I was looking at what I still need, as far as big expenses go and I'm down to three things, for the most part, baring any unforeseen circumstances.

1. Fricken indomitable, gosh-darn headers. (I'm really beginning to hate headers)
2. Exhaust (thinking magnaflow 15899)
3. Radiator and fans

By my calculations; if I get the cheaper headers I'm thinking about, I should be needing to spend about $1,870 on that stuff.

I'm really hoping that's it because I'm getting uncomfortably close to $30k

Bud, everyone has that goal..... and everyone breaks it too....
