I was kinda thinkin that too...an with what Denny is thinkin about gettin a parts car so I can save my original parts...lol...but now that i'm actually saying that out loud...i'd basically be using the frame of my current car & storing the makings of almost an entire T/A "just in case" I want to put it back to it's original state...Now that I actually say it/write it...it sounds a little insane/impractical/paranoid ha ha...I know that there are actually wierdo's like me out there that WANT a 301 Turbo engine to stick in thier otherwise perfect T/A...why? I have no idea b/c it's slow...and if MINE ever blew...I would not find another one to replace it...OK, I just gotta get past the 1st cut right?

What's a logical order to work in when you want to change up a car completely...interior, engine, paint...uh, is suspension or frame a consideration? anything i should be thinking about there?
