[QUOTE="My2003Mach1, post: 11976873, member: 80416"] This is a tough question... If you do not have $10 to $20 thousand to invest, then Its probably best that you sell/part it out and buy something that you can drive, easily maintain, and that you can possibly resell if need be... Modifying a car narrows the buyers market and lowers its TRUE value... IE Yeah my Mach 1 is heavily modified, and I have a lot of $$ into it.. I could list it for $30K and sure that seems like alot of money, in reality its not considering I have invested almost double that not including the cost of the car. There are not many buyers for an 800+ hp car, and Not many willing to pay much more than $25K on any car. Asking $5K is not much more than what you can buy a bone stock mach 1 in mint condition and low miles. Point is, if you going to build a car, plan on spending a lot of cash, plan on feeling let down from ppl and being F'd over a few times, plan on "hurry up and wait" having to depend on ppl to move their ass to get you your work done. This is not negativity, it is having a good understanding and being prepared for the BS that comes with this type of project. If you buy a nice car, something you can cruise in, keep clean and easy to maintain mechanically, I'd say that would be the best route.. If you decide you want to go balls out.. well PM me I will help you put a game plan together and parts list for what it is that you want to do. Just my 2 Cents [/QUOTE]
