I really like your car, and your enthusiasm too. I was like you once and put all of my money into my cars. Take a little advice from a slightly older guy: just because you have a lot of money to spend on your project doesn't mean you should throw 100% of your money at it - or even 85% or 65%. That car was an inexplicable, rare, once in a lifetime find. Of course you should do something with it - but you are young! There are so many turns in life that lead to the unexpected. Do something w/ your car, but make a savings account too. People are waiting on your wallet like vultures - so make sure not to take the first price they say and know when to walk away if the price is too high no matter how good condition the part looks. Also, consider a cheaper engine option. I love the GN turbos and everything about the history of those cars - but I'm not paying hundreds of dollars for exhaust parts wtf? Only a retired millionaire should spend his money in the manner you are proposing. Get hurt at work a few years from now and you will probably have to sell this car. Cross an intersection while a drunk driver runs a red light and you could lose everything - and we all know the type of mods we do to our g-bodys are not covered by insurance. Save your money in case of a disaster like that - God forbid. You don't ever want to find yourself w/ a car you spent $10 - 15,000 on but can only sell for 5 at best. Unless you are in talks with a major record label about landing a rap deal, you should definitely not spend more than half your money on your car. If it were going to sit in the garage all the time, maybe, but I know you love your car bc I have one too. I started a 2nd project to my cutlass that I liked better, a 79 monte. I never saw it coming when the car was stolen from the shop by my ex. $3,500 down the drain just because I never signed the title over. Couldn't do anything about it afterward. It is just some advice to think about. We all want to be Chip Foose or Boyd Coddington, but at the end of the day if there isnt a million $ sitting in the bank we've got to zoom out from our car once in a while & take a look around before we keep blowing money.
the parts car is for all the other parts you will need for the swap ( manifolds, intercooler, harness, bolts, brackets, whatever ect.. )
