I have spent $0.00 but lots of time. I dont have a car yet but I plan on buying a car for about 3k then getting an engine swap 5k-6k (a shop will do it). Then plenty of JUN products, body kits (3K, painted), Rims and suspension (3K) and plenty of other mods. and thats just for one car</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
If you are going to do an engine swap anyways, then why don't you just get a car with a blown motor for like $500. You can look on autotrader.com for one close to your mechanic and have it towed straight there. You'll save about $2500 <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
I agree. I got mine fer the low, low price of $250 with a blown engine, lots of dents and other thangs wrong with it. So far I've spent about $4800 on it and look at it now. If yer gonna swap the engine anyway then I'd look fer one with a bad one and save sum bucks!
