Ok,
So here's the chicken/egg question... My current car, dressed in primer, is a really solid car. I've got most of the interior worked out. The car has a Ford V6 conversion from the EARLY conversion days. Car needs some minor bodywork and new shocks/struts, seals, windshield, etc. It has 2 or 3 hoods/trunks, complete 4lug front and rear parts as extras, 4-5 lug adapters, extra tail shift trans, etc... It's running and drivable with the ford v6, though needs some gaskets for the valve covers at a minimum. I've been told that I am on the most recent list for an all expense paid trip to Kuwait. A trip over there is a great source of a bulging savings account. So here's the question. Do I store my primer buggy and throw money at it when I get home? Or do I sell it before I leave and then pick up a nice turnkey car when I get back. Guessing when I get home, I could spend about $5k on a car, possibly $6, depending on how much I want the car. So? Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks! |
