well i am in the same boat as you my friend, my partner has a child and i plan to marry her in the next few years fingers crossed. i bought a stock sprinter with mild dmg and fixed it all up, dropped in a jap 4age and bought coilovers, exhaust, extractors, diff.

i can spend another 3-4 grand and get it up to where i want it, bigger brakes, a better diff,some paint and a cage and i will be happy

but i know i cant have this car on the roads as it is, it has massive brake issues and i feel shitty when i drive it because i am putting myself in danger and alot of other people, as carefull as i am. SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN...


so i have a really good job, and planning to get a Nissan Stagea, i can pay it off in a year and a half if i dedicate some of my paycheck into it. That way i have a nice car, its boosted and that i can use it for my little family.

You can always get a little ford/mazda beater for a couple hundred bucks and fix it up a little,then just drive that while you have the car off the road. that way you can perfect your sprinter and then sell off the
pos car.

anyways my 2 cents
