where to start
where is the best place to start?
i have a strong 1600 dp already in so i dont wanna mess with it right now unless its carburators. so should i do suspension, brakes/ wheels, or body parts first? |
Most likely you'll want to start on the body first. Get it straight, rust free, and painted.
Next, go with what will improve the car's every day drive-ability. Suspension, brakes etc. Last, go with the engine. Unless you are doing a 5 speed conversion, this should be a good progression. With that said, start with a good plan you will stick with. The plan is the most important part of it all. |
what are you doing with the car? is it a daily driver? weekend warrior? somewhere in between? total project or something you need to drive on week days?
what is your budget? what timeline are you looking at? |

Haaa you'll be lucky :laugh: I don't think theres anyone on here who hasn't thought... well maybe I will go for the slightly larger engine or well if I'm going to the trouble of putting discs all around then I may aswell fit the biggest I can within my budget.... I personally think if you try and stick to your original plan 100% then you could loose interest if it's a long term project.... Have the basic concept in your head and work with it as you go along..just my 2c worth anyway. |
True, but I am trying. Especially since I'm dealing with a tight budget. But I have modified the original plan a bit.
I am running into that exact issue with the engine. I just can't make up my mind!!! :laugh: I meant plan as in do you want a "Cal-look" car or a "GL" car, you'll need to look for certain parts and make certain mods. You don't want to get the car painted and then decide you want to shave the trim. :eek: |
