Sell it and get a Prius. I hear they don't cost near as much to maintain. :)

LOL, I was kidding :lol:. But I guess I've done enough projects to know that whatever I think I'm gonna spend, add a good 30-40% onto that and thats what it will cost.

I'm building a clone of a racecar...with all stock parts. Finding all the stock parts for a 5liter mustang is tough! No racecar here....100% street car/show car just drove on sunny days, lol.

I'm all for building them up yourself, no better experience/reward but man is it 10X cheaper to buy one that's done.
I bought mine needing paint and with something broke in the engine, turned out to be a timing chain. Chassis/motor all was built stout with good stuff. After paint/wheels/nic-nacs I'd say my car is worth about twice what I've got in it.
On a side note, that line, "Doing Burnouts and poppin wheelies...that's what it's all about!!!" in your sig sums up my life lol... I mean really, I've been around some wicked cars in my life but I get as much joy out of watching a 6 cylinder truck do a one wheeler lol.

I had more fun out of my old stock coupe then I have out of any of the blower/turbo cars. It gets old being under the hood more then you drive em.
