OP, Stop posting, put the keyboard down. You need to do some basic research and man up. This shit has been asked thousands of fucking times across dozens of web forums. If you want to own one do some research on your own. If you can't look up some basic FAQs and question threads your to stupid to know how to work on a car.

Also, if you want a reliable daily driver - as in DOES NOT NEED TO BE WORKED ON WEEKLY - expect to spend $7,500. Either in buying a car, or in building one. Yes, you can do it for less, but then we get into that "half-assed" thing I was talking about and you can expect to be doing something to it every week or two.
I've done my basic research. I made this thread so I can ask specific questions and gain the insight I need instead of searching hours through a thread only to find something close to what I need to know, but in terms I don't even really understand because of my lack of knowledge in this area. I'm just trying to get direct input from people with experience in this type of stuff so they can put it in simpler terms and because I feel this is a more effective way for me to get the information I need to know.

I appreciate your input lol.
