Ok here's the situation:
Im going to be graduating high school in May. I have made a deal with my parents that i would not buy a car until i have graduated. My dad told me today that if i find a car i like that doesnt run and is cheap (like 100-200 bucks) he would let me get it NOW and HE would buy it for me. Well i initially thought of the whole ranger/s-10/sonoma V8 conversion thing and now i kinda want to build one of these. However, if i wait 3-4 months i can buy a f-body/mustang for cheap and modify from there. But i would have to wait. Either way the goal is to make a reasonably fast vehicle on the cheap. I drive an explorer right now (not allowed to hack it up...its not technically mine).
I know i have made similar threads before (ideal first muscle car), but this is a different situation. Should i wait and get an 80s muscle car or get a little truck now and do the V8 swap?
At this point i pretty much have all the tools i need to do the swap and have a decent amount of mechanical experience in my school's auto shop (and im state certified in 3 areas).
