As of right now I have recovered $3000 of the $6200 spend on the 02' Camaro. I am still selling parts as we speak and should be able to get the other 3K within the next 4 weeks. I have enough parts left now that should cover it. Online sites have been a great way to selling these parts and Ebay is the best for getting the parts out there. In ever item I listed I had a line describing the Camaro and had contact info to get parts from me without me listing and saving money. Let me say this, yes it is a lot more work than just buying the motor n tranny but in the long run it pays off. As some of you may have read in 1tuffz post about his est $3500 LS1 swap, I would like to keep number some what near that. I know for sure I'll be a little higher beceause I am starting from a shell basically. An example of my part out goes:
Leather int -> $600
Rear End -> $150
Radio Head Unit -> $122
Seat Belts -> $54
All Brakes -> $250
Center Console with shift boot -> $150
Carpet-> $75
Fender -> $100
Hatch struts -> $50
Shift Knob -> $22
Ttops-> $211
Ttop Shades -> $50
I still have the 2 doors....all the rims.....dash and so on! The little items adds up!!!!!!
Just my thought.
