I can't really afford it either, who can? The way I look at it is that it will save me money as I won't be as tempted to wreck the 80 as much offroad.
My original F20 (my first 4wd) cost me $1500 years ago and the spare parts F10 cost me $1200. The F55 I'll be using for this project cost me $300 of which I got back $250 when I sold the gearbox, t/case and bonnet.
My plan for the motor and auto is to buy a complete VN commodore to wreck for about $300-$500, keep the engine and gearbox,wiring loom and computer and then sell the rest.
I already own a BOC 250R MIG welder (even though I suck at welding) and a tubing bender and all of the rest of the tools a person in my position (4wd Mechanic) owns.
