Yeah man it is definitely a good time. Luckily my motor was in solid shape going into it, so didn't have a ton of work there. This gives a nice short overview of what you'll need to do. From there is just researching what components fit and what you'll need to get the right stance (suspension). The cost I had in the conversion was pretty minimal to be honest and I believe we profited when we sold it. So not completely sold on the idea of part depreciation to that extent. The build has value in itself, at least in my opinion. Not like you're just adding parts like you do to a car.
