I want to start my first 240sx project and I'm already selling my car to do it
I have around 5-6k to play with.

I already made the budget and with the 5-6k I'm going to get:
S13 SR20DET Red top (2000 complete swap)
Labor^ : 500-800
Shell: 1000-2000
S15 Conversion: 1300-1500 in total(Headlights/fenders/hood/bumper)
Labor^: DIY + $2-3 for a few sodas on a hot summer day

Now on to my question,
Since I'm going to buy a shell to save a lot of cash,
is there things I should look out for? When should I step away from a shell?
