Hey I don't mean to stray from your topic but after seeing the work you can do I'm hoping you can offer me the best advice.
I may not be building a car from scratch but I am working on my first project car... It's a Ford Taurus SHO
My story: So I've grown up having no one to teach me "anything" about cars. In high school I was given a granny 94 taurus, which an old lady hit while it was parked and with that money got a 97 tuarus. Within the last couple months it broke down and I ended up paying a little over 400 to get it fixed and then another 3 weeks and it breaks down again and cost more to repair than it's worth so I junked it and was browsing for a car. This car is the first car I've bought with my own money and so I want it to be something I can be proud of..and I guess seeing a taurus that is built more for performance and thinking of the "third one's a charm," I couldn't turn away.
Alright so I'm hoping to have 4-5k to put into the car by this summer but I don't know where to start. I have a friend of my dad's who is really good with body work but he has very little time with work and has back problems so I don't know how often I'll be able to get some time for him to help teach me either. As far as the looks go I'll post the links to parts I plan on getting for it but do you have any advice on how to make it more unique other than these parts..?

Those are all things I plan to work on later in the future but where I need the real help is learning to build the engine... Do you have any advice or know where I can learn what I need to know? I'm a full time business college student so as far as schooling goes that'll have to wait until I get my degree in business.
Sorry for taking so much time lol I'm just really developing a passion for this and it's the largest goal that I have right now.
