November 19, 200718 yr Author comment_210206 Oh yeah... this is a budget buildup for sure. My current outlays are $175, the new paint I will have to pay for, but I have a dude on staff that can apply it for beer and conversation. Add 100 or so for consumables, and 200 or so for the interior trim (GF's friend is a seamstress, handy) The most expensive part will be the tyres, at about 600 Then just some sundry outlays for low springs and other pimp related accessories and she's pretty much done. I'm setting a target of sub - $1500 for the entire project, not including whatever stonkingly large engine may end up in it later. Report

February 6, 200818 yr Author comment_225840 Well, I've decided to put the big bitch on the road. I have no idea why, but I am. Swapped the nosecone for one which doesn't have towbar prints in it. Swapped the 4 speed for a 5... was a rather, um, messy exercise... Also picked up a couple of new bits for it... only needed tierods and balljoints for RWC. THIS little bastard piece of nylon, however, was the most expensive part to procure.... how can a bloody shifter bush be worth $30? Aaah. Thats right, its a Mazda. Should be on the road next week, whitewalls and moonies are on the way.... just gotta work out what diameter the springs are so I can find some ultralows for it. Pimpin.
