I am about $9000 into my car, including the purchase price of $5300 (89 GT with 51k 
) I have traded a bunch of parts and bought some used stuff to help keep that number down.

Oh crap. $5,500 for the car, $1,400 in wheels/tires (not including drag wheels), $2,400 in the engine, $400 in the brake/5-lug upgrade, $3,000 in paint last year, oh, easily $1,000 in headers/exhaust this spring, just rebuilt a ford posi I had to purchase for $100 total, $1,000 in miscellaneous maintenance items wouldn't be far off.
$14,800 to build a car worth maybe $6,000-$7,000. That's sane, right? The worst part is, I bought the car thinking I'd be happy with it the way it sat.........idiot.

Actually i just sat down and added this up the other day. I've got just about 12k dollars into mine and thats NO motor work yet. Mostly all body work, different bumpers, wheels and tires, stereo all that good stuff. Next in line is getting rid of the red interior and doing some motor work. And the price of the car was only 500 dollars because my mom sold it to me for that much.

5th graders > me. They're not bant
This thread is depressing. I've been keeping my eye on Foxes to possibly one day replace the 04 I sold a while back.....but I'm not sure I could control myself and would probably spend 20k too.
It took a long time before somebody caught on and made a joke!!! Good one!
some1 said it on the 1st page already.
that was the 1st thing i thought of 2 but didnt want 2 repeat the joke

In the last 10 months, I have spent around $11,000...So I am not going to add up the other years where I spent 6-7K...It is seriously depressing...

wow, you guys are really making me feel bad. I've got the following into it:
$4600 for the car
crash = $7000 repair/repaint/resto
$2000 - 5-lug conversion
$1000 - gears/trak-lok/sub-frames
$3000 - Misc repairs/parts
So its all about $18,000 into my car which is basically stock lol. I dont know how I spend so much money on a car that rarely breaks, has no mods, and is nowhere near a show car... I also do most work on my own, so its pretty confusing.
Next year may be a big year for it, depending on how funds go. I could be looking at a lot of disposable income so I might be in a position to throw like $15,000 into the car. Looking at a trickflow top end kit, big brake kit, and some mild suspension work.

Roughly $5k, mostly drivetrain parts and stock replacement stuff like the starter/alt/power steering. I don't even have $1k into my engine.
Rule #1 with being happy with your car, is you NEVER add up the totals....you'll never feel like you're ahead. I've got about $5k into mine and you can't even see any of it since it's 90% drivetrain.

lets see, i paid 3k for the car, and probably around 3-4k in repairs/rebuilds and another 1k in upgrades and such. so 7-8k total. i do a lot of trading and i've gotten some used parts. also i do all the work myself, otherwise i'd never be able to afford to get anything done!
The cobra is done now so it is back to the GT
Thank GOD. I need to see this GT in person, and I know you won't bring it out until it's complete! Getting a little closer now!
