    What to buy? Need more ideas.

    So I'll be quitting my current job that I'm part time at now to go back to school. I have 8 days of paid vacation I haven't used and will be getting the payout option for it. I figure somewhere around $600 after taxes, so what to do with it? I really want to do spindles/hangers or LCA/hangers, but also have been tossing around the idea of finally getting a converter. I want the circle-d reworked TB verter and those are $350, which would leave me money left over, versus the suspension stuff which would use all that money. Just curious on what other routes you guys would take with it? Thanks.

    A lift!











    or a verter
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    Take a short vacation to a Mexican beach somewhere. You're young once, go have fun. Or put it in an account so when spring break comes around you can go to Miami or Ft Lauderdale.
