what should I do for my next FC

I was thinking about buying a good condition t2 (I have about 6k to play with) and just doing what I want to it from there

I want to hang onto my current NA though I don't want to go through all the work of making it a turbo reason being it is falling apart, its got a increddible street port that was just done, and I want to hang onto it and not worry about turbo hastles

I want a turbo though and I want to work with something from the ground up so should I buy a good condition t2 or a shitty one? since I will have a daily driver while I'm working on the t2

Whatever comes your way.. If you find a nice TII that has some mods or a fixer upper. There are plenty for sale on many different sites.

Depends on how hard you would like to work on your project.

I'd prefer a clean Turbo II that is stock.

clean BOdy and interior but blown motor= cheap.......rebuild it yourself and have a lot of extra cash for mods......find a blown motor for 1500-2000 TOPS and rebuild it for 1500-2000.........2000-3000 bux in mod money for turbo, fuel, piggy-back or standalone..........

Yea I figured great exterior and Interior my only demand is black interior I had ugly *** red in my current and it was expensive and lengthy process to turn it black I would send the engine into prob rotary ress for the rebuild but pull it myself I would deff redo the whole cooling system first. I am deffenitly looking for a project so its most likely what I will do

Thats way too much for a blown motor you can get a good compression Jspec motor for that price.

he wants a project car not just a motor...... 2K for a blown motor clead body/interior TII seems resonable.

wow 1500-2000 for rebuilds are cheap. Is that just a bone stock rebuild with no prting and the utilization of all the same parts? **** I can remember getting my streetport rebuild back in 02' for 4k but that did come with new rotorhousings, race clearence, water jacket mod, etc. etc.
