[QUOTE="BOOGIE MAN, post: 16883779, member: 26082"] This is a car forum, we are all car guys; we 110% love gas v8s, loud exhausts, etc. We love SVTs, we all really appreciate terminators like no other group of people will ever fully be able to understand. However, I think the vast majority of people on this forum would not be willing to sacrifice the things that would need to be sacrificed in order to make this car what you want it to be when they were at the stage in life that you are. By that I mean sacrificing: developing a career, meeting a significant other, starting a family, having a life. If you're gonna use this car as a means to get the job you want at a customisation/race shop that you want, in as short of a time table that you've got in mind, you're gonna sacrifice everything I mentioned above. Can everything that you dream of be done with this particular car? Sure. But it will be your life. Where you're at in life, you're going to sacrifice a lot to make it happen. Is there a chance you could still meet "the one?" Can still have a job/career? Can still have a family? Yes, nothing is impossible. But I'm gonna play the odds. I see 2 options if i was in your shoes: 1-get rid of this and all the headaches attached and come back to another project later on down the road 2-put this shit specimen of a shell (that just so happens to have the right VIN) on the back burner for about 10years until you've got a better understanding of what needs to be done and the means to do it (aka more experience and the finances to back it). Amass parts over time and add a zero to your timetable (30yrs vs 3yrs) [/QUOTE]
