I am brand new to this. Am looking at buying a Whirlwind. How to I convince my wife that:
1. I can refurbish it
2. It shouldn't cost more than $XXX for parts

Any input would be greatly appreciated. No wife jokes please.

Love it!
But seriously, what can I expect in large round numbers to sink into one of these beasts?
I know if all depends on the condition, but can I safely say an average of $300??
Don't forget I know nothing about this and need to sound like I know more than I know.
