Default He spent about 2K total, but he did A LOT of machining of parts

He has access to a lift and full machine shop and is very, very talented.

The B5 tranny was bought for about $400, it had to be completely rebuilt first, he did that also, that would add about $1600 to the total for parts alone.

Gabor is very, very talented.
