Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

OK guy I got an offer for the SRT engine!! 3k.... not bad... Prices for the car are going up due to 3 more weeks and the car will NEVER be made again... So this guy offers me 3k for the engin w/o tranny... I an going to take it...

Now... What can I buy for the cabby? (besides a better one!!)

I want a new engine... I need suspension... I need paint... I need a new top, I need sway bars... I need a whole new car...

I have a few choices here...

1... Buy a cheep ass civic so I have something to drive when we do rip apart the dub...

2. buy the suspension and new motor & tranny

3. paint the dub, put some rims on her and keep the stock motor for a while longer... I mean it does run fine...

4... spend it on making sammy happy... one last time before egypt...

why couldn't you take the SRT motor and put it in the cabby?
after all you have all the wiring and everything from the SRT right?

have you seen the Vorsche on the vortex?

Do the body, paint and top first. Take the time to plan the power train mods out.
