How much is invested in your stang ?

[Kumm3]

Bought the car at a salvage auction for $1250, spent about $1100 fixing it, did a lot of side work for the guy painting it, so the labor was a wash.

But last time i added it all up, about 3 years ago, i was at $22K in mods and upgrades.

since then, ive blown up a motor, bought a dart block, upgraded the heads a little, along with countless other improvements, so im easily over $30K in mods on a $1250 car.......

someone please beat that so i dont feel like an idiot!!

Bought my 93 for $650 and after rebuilding the front end and adding some suspension goodies and other misc probably have about 8K into her now.... (M2300K going on this winter with a set of 93R replicas then Griggs thru the floor kit in feb)

Bought my 90 for $100 but so far have swapped in a T5, rebuilt rear, tune up, same suspension as 93 (all bought new from MM) now looking for a shop for a full re-spray then new interior, cloth top, styling bar, blah blha blah...hoping i can get her on the road for less than $15 (with a used A-trim)...

I just got rid of my 330Ci in hopes to cut back on car spending but picked up a silverado SS so some goodies need to go on there

I got just $22,500 in my 2001 Mustang GT since I purchased it brand new.

And I got another $18,900 in my 2002 Mustang V6 since I purchased it brand new.
The only mods which I spent towards my 02 Mustang was $500 for 4 Blizzak snow tires.

I don't believe in spending a lot of money for mods. The only thing which I might do is get the Magnaflow Catback exhaust for my GT when it's time to put new exhaust on it down the road.

The last time i really sat down and thought about it, including the price of the car i bought and traded to get my coupe, it's around 5k. Most of that is in the drivetrain though.

I got my current mustang for free almost one year ago from a friend who wa trying to part out his money pit..with no engine, trans, front seats, and ecu and efi wirning harness removed. Now, a year later, I have about $7600+ into it and it still doesnt run but it will soon and should be alot of fun...(paint will be next year- function before form)

 

[GSP393]

I'll have to start finding and adding receipts for the entire car, I've got alittle over 2k in my stroker so far and expecting on 5k when complete. I just got it painted and won't say what I spent, but was told if I didn't work there and didn't do alot of the work myself it would have been over 5k just in the paint job.

took the words right out of my mouth.
