RWD conversion one step closer, yeah i'm still working on it Options

[darksecret]

A while back I had made plans to do this and Kwanza hit me with a few questions that I had to look into such as the crossmember and steering system, well I checked around and the F-Body Camaro seemed to be a good candidate for parts without having to make all of my parts from scratch. Well long story short I picked up a Camaro a couple of weeks ago and also got a running (and smoking) RX-7 FB for good measure (and $400). The Camaro is in to good a shape to be tearing apart so I will use it as a measuring board and see what comes about. It might take me forever but the thing is getting done regardless if I stick to my original parts plan or not.

You gotta ask yoursef... is it worth the $$? Wouldn't it be money better spent on another / new car?

Reason why I say this is from personal experience. My first creation was this. It could have had a 3S-GTE... but
1) it's damn expensive
2) you won't be able to recoup the costs when you sell the car
3) you may as well buy a new car for the money.

As with the Corolla, the Celica isn't exactly a high-model car - in fact it's Toyota's cheapest sports car. Is it really worth putting so much money, time, effort into an effectively entry-level car?

Just my 2c.

I already have two RWD cars and i'm still doing this, that means you missed the point, expensive isn't the issue my insurance is expensive. A new car would be nice but what's the point I have an 18 year old car that will run with a brand new Mustang easily, it's the fact of doing it. It'll be expensive but since i'm looking into GM parts for fitment that will cut cost down dramatically and it'll still be "in the family" since GM and Toyota are pretty close, like I said there was the Toyota Cavalier, then the more recent Vibe/Matrix. Most enthusiest don't get what they paid and I don't care because I drive them until the wheels fall off that's the point in doing it, unless it's a classic muscle car then you might get what you paid for. Besides everytime someone buys a Lexus they're thowing money away, why buy an IS when an Altezze is like 8 thousand cheaper and the motor is just as good with two less cylinders.
