Man, if Craig hadn't sold the orange Root Works 6...I should have just gone for that...
I think I'll just start collecting parts...I'll see if I can get my hands on a $200 tub and start there. Maybe just a piece at a time. |

I think you could do it for that.. but by WCC06? That seems like the tough part. Doing things on a budget takes time because the good deals aren't all available at once.. you have to jump on them as they turn up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) It can take 6 months just to find the right tub at the right price.
I vote for the 2.4... Gotta love the MFI! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

Doug...I'm the guy who bought the orange RootWerks 6. By the time I get done with wheels, tires, brakes, heat, cosmetic stuff, and all the other little nicities, I expect to be over that 15k mark. The help I've gotten from club members has been invaluable in keeping the costs under control. I actually traded my way into the car so it's impossible to say how much cash I have invested...I think Craig and I both did OK on the deal...but 15k should be doable if you're resourseful, and I know you are from watching your posts.

A good rule of thumb is to detail all the known costs (as you have done), and allow for extras. Then make an estimate of time required. Then double each. You'll be surprised that even this is a conservative estimate. Car work, cumpooter work, no matter. If making a street/pleasure car, carbs can be a pain. Kinda hard gettin' the the thing goin', even after sitting a week or so. Plus warm-up, throttle response, gas mileage. If you want a good running OE setup thats not an effin pile of spaghetti, you end up with a 3.2 and a 915, which I'm now doing. But then...

Well, the trunks, lids, doors, hinges ect have all already been painted a late 80's Porsche Stone Grey. All I have left to paint is the fender and door jams. But I am waiting on flares still. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) I have heard they hope to get a delivery in on Monday now. So maybe another week or so and I will have flares on! Right now I am working on the engine bay. Putting in a new engine shelf, cleaning things up and preping for paint. Putting the bulk head mount on ect.

You guys should just charge a small premium for snagging guys BEFORE you pick colors.
Great work Dan, you rock. |
