I'm curious . If any of you won $5,000 for spending ONLY on tools, and another $5,000 for spending ONLY on car upgrades (what ever you want, tires, tranny, etc) what would you guys get?

If you won $5,000 what would you buy? (Car parts/ tools)?

$5000 would get me a modest pre-built garage installed. I would consider that to be a tool!
$5000 for the car... well, since my CB is going to be a race car, I'll be doing proper race prep on it... cage, new suspension, brake upgrades, good tires (a few sets.) I think that stuff alone puts me over $5000!

i actually plan on doing this now that work for me is in full tilt. I work 40-60 hours a week on any given week now. I want to save $5000 for "fun money" aka for the car and tools to work on said car. I want to do $2000 on tools and equipment for the garage and $3000 on parts for the cb. I plan to save at least that much by the end of december.
That's the plan anyway. If I do accomplish my goal you might see the results on here as soon as February of next year. If of course the world decides to not end.

Tools: id decent used mill and lathe with a nice, big assortment of tooling. Anything I have left would go into a big compressor, air tools, a mig welder, a tig welder, a metal cutting bandsaw, and a couple beefy grinders.
For my car, amr coilovers, finish up my bay, some nice reclinable recaros, 5lug, nice wheels, something polished in 18x8 +25 or so, a 12:1 built f22, and fix my rust
edit if it doesn't have to be shop tools, then ill replace the mill with a canon 7d, a 10-22, and a 70-200 f4Last edited by steelbluesleepR; 04-24-2012, 05:41 PM.

Tools: a decent tig welder, and a plasma cutter, and possibly a rotating car frame
car: well since I am doing the RB25 swap I would throw it at getting the rest of the parts for that
