Show or Go?, Which way are you going? Options

[chucho]

Which is your desire. I'm just going for show right now. I may do a couple mods to the engine but i'm going for show overall. Later down the road i'll swap in a 3sge or 3sgte. But not right now, unless i come up w/ a really good job next year.

QUOTE (erc @ Jun 17, 2003 - 5:07 PM) For my celica? Show.  The way I look at it, $5000 can either get me an engine swap and 220 horsepower, or it can get me 400 horse and 500 ft. lbs of torque in another car.  *shrug* Yea but your car wouldn't look as good as a celica. Infact, I bet it'd be pretty ghetto for $5,000. And 220 horse in a sleeper celi is definitly enough I think.

It wont be a show car, but it wont be ghetto either. I've got friends who do body work.. I get the carcas of a vehicle for $200 (maybe an AMC javelin or something like that, even considering an S-10 Blazer) I drop $500 into a 1976 Caddy for the donor engine.. 500 cubic inches, and only 46,000 miles, the engine is mint. The rest of the cash goes into tranny, custom exhaust, suspension, wheels + tires, and paint. The rest is all little crap that can be done over time... billet grill, sound system, cam shaft, headers, fuel injection kit, shift kit, chrome this and that, etc..
