I could always upgrade later to a better engine/tranny. I would just like to get the suspension, brakes and wheels done. If I could get that done for $30k with the purchase of the car as well, then that is what I am looking for. I figure I could get a car for $15K, so an additional $15k for parts and labor for the suspension, wheels and brakes. I want to run 18's in the front and 20's in the rear, so it would have to be tubbed. I figure wheels and tires will set me back a few thousand and the brakes a few thousand, so that would leave about 8k for the suspension. Of course, this isn't counting any rust repair. This won't be my daily driver, so I could work on it as need be.
Maybe i just have a pipe dream after all.

minitubbing is $4K to $5K in most areas. Maybe get a tire combo that doesn't need tubbing?
