The build is underway... I went into the Bank today and got approved for a little $3,000 personal loan, so I have some play money now. I am picking up my Engine here this weekend, looking around for a deal on the Heads, and fininding what ever else I need. I haven't even got payed yet either.. 
The build is officially on..

$3k? that's it?
**** dude, the heads i want would eat almost all of that after shipping charges.
i went to the bank(s) here in town to see who has the best rates, etc for a loan - planned on borrowing 8k to build a nice malibu/lq4 combo - then other priorities made themselves known. bottom line - $3k won't build much of anything.
i justified the loan because i currently have NO debt and a company provided vehicle that is completely free (even gas) for me to use when and as i wish. so basically i stash a grand a month and blow the other 2 i bring home. i'm such a douche.

for me it was either be very very patient and try to finish the car over years, or get a loan and get it done asap so you can enjoy it, either way your paying for it. good call merv
sounds like fun

Good job! Get it done now! Enjoy it! I hate saving money up, takes too long! I think I will need about 5k or more to do my car up, so im thinking loan. Need paint and body, exhaust, most of all do up the motor right the 1st time...

i suppose if u don't have other debt and have a reserve for emergencies, 3k isn't really all that irrisponsible. and if ur car is ur passion, like mine is to me, go for it. if u were a client of mine, i wouldn't have recommended it though. (financial advisor, W&R) oh well, have fun!!!
