Duster Update. Now known as project Pond Leaper.
 The car's body is mostly together. The chrome front bumper it came with was badly pitted and scratched from sitting in the front yard instead of on the car. I decided just to sand it and paint it. Yellow wont be the final color of the car but its just cheap paint to keep raw metal from rusting. I bought a Tachometer from FB marketplace for $100. Its probably a knock off but it works so thats all that matters. I also got a seat from a crashed 240 at the local junkyard. That cost about $500. I'm going to have to get a new shifter because the gated one is a pain in the ass.  The wheels i got custom C&C'd at an aluminum welding and fabrication shop. Theyre solid accept for a heart cutout. I hand painted the red in the heart to make it pop a little more. They're going to go well on the car after i paint it the way i intend to.  And now for the engine. Nowhere near ready to run yet but i picked it up without the turbo manifold from that import shop for $1500. I've bought some exhaust tubing and a T88 for it already, just gotta weld the manifold and fit it all in tomorrow. The clearances for the engine in this car are pretty tight, so if i dont want a rear mounted radiator, which i dont, im going to have to have the intercooler stick out a little bit. First world problems huh. Starting V$: 25,720
Tach: -$100 Seat: -$500 Wheels and Tires: -$1600 Engine: -$1500 Final V$: $22,020 |
