Kickass .gif! I'm nearing the end of buying parts for mine now, and we've got about $4000 or $4500 dumped into it, doing all the work ourselves.
So all know, that's a new engine, rebuilt tranny, tires, suspension, brakes, windshield, sterio, metal for building, degreasers, and all that stuff.
Buy something nice! Or, if you enjoy building something up, buy something crappy!
