Default The project

So i had let my girlfriend drive what i think is a very beautiful car. This is my 94 Formula before my girl drove it....

And i got it back lookin like this


So after many days of hating the thought of starting all over with this car i got an uplift. I found many parts on craigslist and got this 94 back on track with a couple more mods on it and decided to leave it as is for now to start on another project.

This 96 Formula has a decent interior, needs paint job, needs rear end, and the motor jus needed a distributor along with some love and beer for my self


So this seemed to be a good start for a ten second build and i have started to gut the car. What do you guys recomend in doin wit this project that im thinkin will take atleast a year to complete since i have only weekends to work on it. Cheap has never been my style but i am willing to get to the ten second club as easy and cheap if possible my first time around. Let me know what u guys think and yes im still wit my girl

I got the car for 600 bucks which i consider to be a fairly good deal. I also got a 12 bolt rear end that needs some cleaning.
