Ok. Sorry, I take that back. So from the pictures you have picked up what looks to be a wrecked kit and towed it home. Not trying to take anything away from that, but it starts to add up. Just new oil for my ls3 was $140 unbudgeted on the weekend! plus thousands in bolts, wire, wiring connectors, bits of steel, bearings, bushes, shifter relocation etc. steering uni's, exhaust bends, gaskets, flange plates, radiator plumbing, fan, it goes on and on and on. When I started out I thought I could put it on the road for under $30k, but I was very wrong. Not that I care cause the cost is so spread out.

Big difference between cost of restoring what you have and buying new parts.
