$700 from 3 tech if you get the preformance cam, +10 gear, port, pollish, shaved, oversized SS valves, head and a set of head bolts with the $100 core charge and (it was to get it to VA) $40 shipping. Btw Thats cheep VS SRDs price for a head package (or all those components and the macheen shops bill)
So, is that -100 with a core? Why the oversize valves?

THAT does not factor into any of my work :D this car leaves me when its crushed or on fire. And in either case resale isn't important :) I can spend a lot on mine because it saves me more that it costs in parts I buy for it. I drive 35,000+ a year. My Taurus got 24mpg average which is ~$3650 a year in gas (2.50/gal). Metro uses half as much (not to mention decreased car insurance and maintainance costs) I can spend $1500 a year without any consideration for resale and I'm still coming out ahead of where I'd be with the taurus. :) that's money that would have gone out the tailpipe, no increase in value or fun (just a slow decrease due to climbing mileage on the car). I can put $6K into making my vert fun while making my other metro economical :D and still come out better and more fun! $1500 a year in unrecoverable money is a lot more fun in accessories than gas :)

Just wondering, where could you possibly spend $1300 on this car and make it recoverable, even in tip top shape these cars aren't worth very much. I couldn't see adding more than maybe $500 in value off even major work that didn't involve some custom job.

I was wondering if your parents would be impressed if you put ~$300(?) in the bank, savings, and used the rest on the car. :dunno And what about further education expenses?

For resale the "econo" grind cam and a +10 cam gear would be best as a selling point. IMHO.
