This is a very simple and probably nowhere near complete (or accurate) budget I have put together for my project. I have broken in up into "stages", if you will, to spread out the cost. I plan on doing the engine and trans together. Once they are complete at least I can drive it again, and by upgrading the wheels, tires and suspension (read traction) I should ok with the stock rear end for a while. Feel free to comment. Are there any glaring holes?
