My First Steps To Producing A Show Car

[swales_p]

Hello all, ive finially managed to put my motor away for good and bought a general runabout. The problem is... what to do first?

My aim is to have MASSIVE but drivable + enjoyable BHP out of this motor, this being equipt with a TRD wide body kit + a set of 18's Volks wheels to top it off. I know this will take years of saving + work on the car so ive set my self a realistic goal of 5 years +.

At the moment im currently fitting gauges to the dash + A Pillar so that i know how my engine is running. with some crome goodies for the interior to top ot off, creme leather will be the final touch :D

So folks, what do i do next? suspension, brakes, enigne mods ???? Also how much BHP should i be looking to aim for - also, a approx total price for the mods to do it would be great. This will prob put it up to 10 years +. :(

And finially, ill set up a garage on this site so i can show everyone whats going on with the motor.

Cheers
