Work hard.
Work harder. Stop smoking. Take lunch to work with you. Kick kids out of house. Work even harder. Alright... I take lunch with me and work hard. Work out your priorities and a budget. Hang in there. |

yeah like cooki monsta said.. the best way if u want mods quick is to get a 2nd job like a pizza delivery driver or similar.. local pizza shops usually pay cash in hand and in one night you can get about 150 bucks or so if its busy..

I think if you can work, and control your spending, your pretty set.
Then it just comes down to patience. |

I work lots and put 90% of my money into my cars.
It just occured to me you could also contribute to sperm banks on the side. Assuming $50 a pop, 7 days a week, that's a reasonable sum for 5 minutes work  I think there's some kind of rules against that though.

Work hard mate, and you'll get there.
The banks still help by lending some money. But if you want or need parts for your car, just save a bit each week, and go and buy them gradually, or save up your money, and then go and buy them all at once. |

Get a border - help you pay the bills.
Plus if you need parts, go to the self serve wreckers and get the parts yourself.
