It's all about the money (or lack there of)

OK, so, I'm new here obviously.

I have made a few posts, but wanted to see if there is anyone out there that has what I'm doing. I'm sure there are a few of ya.

I got my 95 a few months ago with front end damage with plans for a motor swap and a kouki front end conversion. Plans change, and here's what I have/am doing.

S15 front end w/ CF hood, Vented Flared fenders, Drift style nose

S14 blacktop (VTC)

Trying to find an intercooler cheap

Also possibly need a wiring harness for the SR. Shout out if you know where I can get one.

The car is at the body shop getting the new radiator support and the engine bay sprayed (after they pull the old motor). It is then coming to my work (Super Autobacs) for the SR install. Then back to the body shop for the fenders/hood/nose install and paint.

Also in the works are the flared rear fenders and possibly an s15 tail conversion.

Basically I ran out of money and will be stopping after the front end parts install. Paint will come later when I get the rear fenders.

SO if anyone knows where I can work on my random days off for some extra money that would be cool

Let me know what you think about what I'm doing, and post any pics if you have something similar.

I know how that is, I sold my Turbocharged Civic in Febuary for $4000 and bought a 240 coupe for $1500, and just now I finally was able to afford a RB20 clip from my own company. And of course immediatly after I sold the Civic gas went sky high, the SOHC in the 240 blew a headgasket, and I got stuck driving my gas hog suburban at $100 a week until I got lucky enough to score a $250 DOHC Ka one of our customers pulled when he swapped in a SR20.
