The money pit!
I feel like a chump!
Two Porsche bolts = $60.90 USD! Well they are very specialized eccentric bolts for the control arms, but still jesss o flip! Just got the gas tank "unpainted"/acid dipped = 50 tank sealer = 25 AN fuel lines = 80ish Weld oil cooler brackets (AL weld which I cannot do) = 50 Oh the horror!!!! This is a small example of the $... The motor stuff I ordered in the last week is another nightmare of over $700! ARG! Just venting, but I am just so impatient... Man I want to be done already! GLF!, |
Three years working on car.
Over six thousand dollars spent. Car still sitting on jackstands. Priceless........:silly: |
Pillow, I know its very frustrating at time. Hang in there buddy :)
What even more frustrating is paying someone top dollar to do quality work and having to go back there multiplie times to get it done right. :( |
Time to put some control arms in :)
Hopefully a more gleeful post later tonight! LOL "Patience grasshopper" Thanks, |
if not, you can always come over and maybe putting mine in will make you happier. :D
good luck and take some pics for us. |
...at least you have arms to put on.:p
|
One arm in! :)
The wheels fit as well, which as some of you know was a big concern for me. Granted for a splittie the 15x7 52.3 offset is about all it will take with a 205/65R15 tire. Actually you can go back deeper just not outwards as the tire would rub the fender. Need to come up with an e-brake solution here quick though... Also the darn expensive bolts are wrong after all!!! They are for a late 944 AL arms not the early steal ones. Back to the store! A good day though. Zen let me know if you need a hand one day! |
2 arms in :)
And a tranny in! Now I slow down until I can think of a few solutions. :( |
