I want to use the shocks I have as opposed to buying a new set for over $1000. That's $1000 out of my pocket for no real reason. I'm a poor boy. Practicaly a dirt farmer.

If I had $3000, I'd pick up a G-50 Porsche transmission and do a mid engine conversion. I just don't have that kind of money, plus I already have a good T56.

I'm just trying to do the best I can with what I have. I'm focused on getting the donor car right now, then a plasma cutter.
