Upgrading my mountaineer? |
Ok guys so… I have to have a senior project finished by about this time next year and im trying not to blow my 500 dollar budget.
Ive considered several thing like, building a hovercraft, restoring a motorcyle, or restoring a classic piece of american muscle. Unfortunetley all of these things would cost me out the butt.
So basically I want you guys to devise a short shopping list <$500 that will keep my 1997 mercury mountaineer AWD v8 street legal but also make it totally bada$$
Im thinking maybe a muffler, new intake, big tires? idk you guys throw in you idea but be specific with what brand model etc of the accessory
Maybe just a slammin stereo? i dont care. Coolest idea gets points.
Thanks so much guys
BTW it needs to take at least 18 hours of work for me
What you are thinking is not such a great, or easy
project. To be a good project would not only require
you to have a well laid out, written up plan, but
would also require either a real good, visible change
on an existing item. The mere change of tires, a
muffler, intake, or even a stereo do not fit with the
idea of a good project. Even ‘big tires’ can cost
you most, or all of your budget before you get
them mounted. That wouldn’t even begin to be
any real project challenge. Also, not even if you
did all the work yourself of everything you have
listed would you have much over those 18 hours
of work if you actually made a good plan for
doing the job. With a good pre-plan of any
task makes the job go faster, and easier. You
would first seek out all of what you needed,
the cost of each, and how quickly you could
get those things as they were needed, or to
have on hand when you start the job. Next
you would lay out your written plan on how
to do the job, in what order, etc. This would
also require that you do any study of the
‘how to’ of each of the tasks. This is important
to make for a smooth, efficient use of time.
Since a good project requires all these things,
and also a good visible change not so
specifically focused on small item changes,
you would need a whole change in your
thinking on your project.
Now, if you did all the proper bodywork
preparation on a twelve year old vehicle,
and painted it yourself, you would have a
total visual change. Even a good clean up,
and neat interior look would help to make
a good ’show car’ project. Nothing fancy,
but definitely a good overall project.
I wouldn’t think that any tools you might
buy would be a part of a budget for the
project. Just what was actually needed
for the actual work on the project. Tools
are just the things one would need for
many projects, and not really a part of
the task of completing a specific project.
The proper paint job on a car can be a
lot of prep work to fix everything to be
a good surface for anything. Not a whole
lot of cost, but a lot of work. A good
paint can cost a good amount of your
budget alone. At about a $150 per gallon
of paint for the finish paint choice, plus
the primer paint, thinner, and all the
wet sand paper can cost you most of
your budget. Done well you can still have
enough left for some tire black for the
tires, and rubber mats inside the car,
as well as some cleaning supplies
for inside and out.
A good cleaning of the engine compartment,
and trunk, and maybe a little extra spray
paint in those areas can top off a good
looking project. If you planned well in
advance you would still be within your
budget.
There are even places that can paint the
car AFTER you have done the major
body work preparation, and masking.
If you have done your preparation well
such a paint job won’t cost you much
different that what you would pay for
the paint alone. Those places (that
used to charge $19.95 for a quick
paint job) would have your car in and
out in a very short time. Search out
which place can do what is needed
for you for the least amount. You can
even check some of their work before
you are anywhere near ready. You
have the time.
With the time you have to do this, I
would also look into wood projects
such as shown on TV in programs
such as the New Yankee Workshop,
or The Woodright Shop. They show
you how to do a particular project,
and you can even get their full plans
on exactly what you need, and how
to do it yourself. Unless you are in
a special class of mechanics, I
would seriously consider a wood
working project. Now, those are a
really great bunch of projects. How
about construction of a good tent?
A few yards of a good rip-stop nylon,
some seat belt webbing, grommets,
plus a few other small items, some
knowledge of how to use a sewing
machine, and you can make a wall
tent large enough for a family for
only about $200. And, this isn’t
something you have to ‘crawl’ into.
Even a Six and a half foot person
can walk right in. It is light weight,
can pack into a small bundle (except
for the poles), and can even be used
as just an overhead shelter for
picnics.
I have done all three of these projects
myself, and found them to be a very
useful, and rewarding experience. I
have even done them several times
each. For me to try any such project
these days while living only on my
social security in retirement means
I do not have very much available to
spend on any project, and always
try to keep my budget to around
$300 to $500, or even less. It just
takes good planning!
