.Bought coilovers and wheels for said Corrado.
.Could have purchased another vehicle with the money spent on the project so far.

Now, seeing as how I've dumped thousands of dollars into this car, I figured I'd keep going and really get it into with boost and powdercoating. Unfortunately I neglected to remember that it snows out here in Jersey and even a FWD will have issues. I was stationed in Florida for quite a while so forgive me.

I've tossed the idea around of buying an Evo or an R32 for the AWD and safety. The R32 is very partial to me because I'm a VW nut, and they retain value extremely well. The Evo I can't deny because it's a serious beast and can make great power extremely easily. So really, there are 3 avenues to take, finish my Corrado and completely transform it, buy the R and go broke modding it with big power, or conform and buy the Evo? What do you guys see as the best option?
i could pitch an idea. just buy a normal DD that allows you to keep some bank for your project car. Jettas, passats those kinds of cars come to mind. but if you dont wanna do that i say go for a STI or something.
