95 Trans Am, engine/trans swap, clean up and sell. How much can I make?

[NoMoneyZ]

Just going to keep a log here of this TA I picked up for a trans donor. It is a 6speed car so I'll be taking that out for my Buick. But the car is solid otherwise with 90k on it. I need to either do a bottom end on the engine or toss in one of my spare short blocks. Then I'll toss in my spare auto trans and clean it all up and sell it. I'm going to try to make some money off her since I can't keep her. I paid $700 and going to put it up for 3k. I'll have to wrap some money up in her to get her to selling point. Mostly little stuff, like window motors, waxing paint, clean the inside, tires, brakes, stuff like that. We'll see, if anything I'll break even and someone will get a solid f body. Hard part is going to be the salvage title. Unsure of why, car is solid everywhere.

Yes its a Formula. I just always call them TAs. Doesn't really make a difference to me.

Finally going to start into this thing. I pulled the drivetrain out last month and I got the windows up so it doesn't get rained on. Going to go through it all and hopefully have it running by feb. I am terrible with deadlines though. Only thing I have so far is a few window motors that my work was tossing so I swooped up on them. I'm going to reseal another shortblock I have and toss it in with all this cars acc. I have a flowmaster catback sitting on the side of the house too. It may or may not make it on this car. It has a thrush turbo muffler on it right now.
