That house is awesome!

Thanks Speedy..
The house is a long shot, but I am rolling the dice..It would be a steal if I pull it off, if not, I have a nice house, and a great fixed loan now. I would never try to buy a short sale, they are just too long and hard to get. But I will know in the next few months..
Yes, the brakes were really expensive, your prices are right on, and it was a few hundred more for Red calipers, haha
Yes, I had to change all the old stuff..Gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, ect... The suspension was dead. Did I need to go with coil overs, and Hotchkis everywhere else ? No.
And the brakes and exhaust were toast.. Did I have to go with ceramic and stainless steel exhaust. No.
Did I have to buy the best Willwoods that made me have to buy new Rims ? No.
But man, it is now one of a Kind. I really wanted all of it, and it was the first thing on my Bucket List. I almost died two years ago due to Major Heart and Brain problems that I am still recovering from. So, yes, I went all out so far on the build, well not Art Morrison Chassis crazy, but what I could afford..
Did I have to buy the Wife her dream 370Z and trade a perfectly good , paid off 350Z ? YES...I did not see that coming..haha Had I never started my car, she would have been happy with her 350Z...
But I need more than 400HP . I have buddies that have road course Camaro's that go from 0 to 100 and back to 0 in 13 seconds.. So next will be Interior and Horsepower....maybe not in that order,haha.
