Just what is a budget minded pro-touring project? Just buying one of our cars broke our budget.:_paranoid

Looks like a great starter. I'm trying to do a pro-touring/stock car myself. Trying to keep it on budget. Its hard but you can do it.

What color blue is that? It very nice.

Nice car to start with and any car that runs and shows up at the events is good enough for starters. Get it running and do the mods as you go.

Put an LS motor in it no matter what else you do and you will save money in the long run.

Have fun !:thumbsup:
