Celica162 use that $6000 to buy someone elses hard work. $6000 will buy you a pretty good sprinter with all the hard work done, maybe just some tidying up to do. To build a Sprinter for $6000 won't get you very far. Just wait a while, check out as many cars as you can. Don't rush your purchase but be ready to buy the moment you see the right car, they go quick.
I bought mine with alot already done and it meant i could spend my money where the car really needed it.
