Here is a pertinant question in regards to Sadie...
Should I do my suspension right away (appx cost: 6500$ - 7500$) or jump straight into the engine which still 'presently' has the extended warranty on it (appx cost: 25000$)
I have 16000$ presently in the bank so if I do suspension now after this labor to get her running properly again - I will have 10000$ left and have to save 18000$ to do the engine unless I pay it out of my own pocket.
If I do the engine now it will be piece by piece or rather month by month in intervals of boltons up to maybe 1750 a month...
Get the block built (probably 13000$) and have 1000-3000$ for boltons then each month have about 1750$ to put into more boltons. It would take two months for the block to be built which would be a saveup time for more purchases.
