About 2 months ago a drunk driver hit me and totaled my saturn(shame shame right hah). I have been big into s13s forever and think i made a list for what i want to make a drift project on a low budget. Lucky for me my dad and uncle know how to weld and have a welder(YAY). But this is my plan :D

I got 5000 for my saturn rofl and i have to buy a daily driver. sooooo

-about 1500 for a pos that gets me places.

3500 is what i got + like 100-200 a month from my job. (only 17)

Buy a 240 with not so bad body damage and no frame rust with a non running engine. the most i have seen them go for is like 1000 max

:O down to 2500

rebuild engine. no new pistons or such ill just resurface them

hoping for it total around 1000-1200

about 1500 for a budget car OMG KILLMYSELF RIGHT

get some nice coilovers and sheiittt

like 1000

now only 500 OMG KILLMYSELF RIGHT

NO

welded diff i have seen for like 50 bucks. i kinda want to take it to a pro for that. dont trust my dad lol.

get some of that metal tubes and make my self a roll cage. i think after some research it cant be tooooo hard if you know what your doing welding. totaling like 200

i forgot some nice breaks. not an arm and a leg so i dont see it being much of a problem right now.

looks like i got some cash left over but thats where you come in. It is gonna be a track car so forget getting like after market exhaust and stuff. cause im just gonna cut it and make a y joint or whatever and have it come out near the back wheels. Im hoping i can get cold air intake from a dumb kid for cheep , they arnt too much anyways. anything else you can think of to make a drift ready track car. power isnt much of an issue to me because im just learning anyways(dont wanna lose control and hit something cause im dumb and got maddd powaaaa) not like i have the money right now anyways. I think thats not a bad list. suggestions?
