Budget six conversion builders, Please tell us how you do it! Options

[anthony]

I compiled the following list of conversion parts. This is just to put a six cylinder engine in the car and doesn't include a 5 lug conversion or suspension mods. So for you guys that throw out low total conversion prices please tell us how you did it and how you cut costs. Often I see references to exceptional deals on engines that can't be easily reproduced or incomplete parts lists that don't include all the parts or headers/exhaust.

There's no way I can get a handle on my real costs. I bought a 6 parts car, sold a bunch of stuff from it, kept some, traded a 1.7 car and another for a semi completed 2.4 six conversion, sold the 2.4, bought a core 3.0, building the 3.0, bought another parts car, traded some more, got a load of 911 SC parts, sold and traded more, bought/sold/traded wheels, brakes, suspension.....this has all happened in less than 1 year....an accountant's nightmare. I think I'm doing pretty good cost wise...unless I count my time, then I'm screwed! Having fun though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
