Budjet for a summer project?

Hi everyone. This summer i am going to have a decent budjet to work with for the condition my car is in. Please, take a look at the pics and info i have on my profile and shoot me some ideas you may have. I will be working with almost a $2000 budjet and would like something fun to do to my T/A this summer.
-Let me know your thoughts, thanks for looking.

Re: Budjet for a summer project?

Is that gonna be a lump sum, or $200 here and $200 there? If it's a lump sum, the wise move would be either a set of AFR 180cc heads, or a T56, or a used LQ9 with a set of Hawks headers, or a complete tubular front end with tubular k-member and big brakes, or a killer rear axle. Pick one. Then figure out what to do with the leftovers.
