You want to save gasmoney?
How many hours/week do you plan on
spending fixing the car?
Not sure about that one, all fixed up still look a bit
odd and homemade.
If you want a project I think you should find a cooler base car to work on.
Maybe even just a frame and start building from scratch.
Like one guy made a Ferrari F40 replica only 346hp but he will put in twin turbos aiming for 500-550hp
cost for the parts was 35-40K
