$8000 for the car
$3500 for the catted bassani, flowmasters, 4" chrome tips...H&Rs springs, 02 bullitt rims, Goodyear Eagle F1 275/40/zr17, Goodyear 245/45/zr 17, tires, subframes (not installed yet), white face guages, K&N, hood pins, audio stuff, black carpeting, black door bezels, thank god i did my own labor (for now) .

The Stuff on the bottom right with the the three yellow companies are from the last go around.

My Girlfriend and I counted up those reciepts and those came out to about 12k but that doesn't count stuff I bought from people with no reciept. Like Three sets of heads, an RPM intake and TB, My Budniks, and money I have spent to have a "Person" Work on it for me. I am thinking it might be around 18k to 19k.

Are we including the cost of the car?

93 Cobra: $20k purchase price + $62k mods = $82k
90 GT: $2k purchase price + $18k mods = $20k

That's what happens when you spend $6k to $8k a year on modding your car... And changing it as you go, instead of building it all at once from a set plan. But over time, new companies start up (e.g. AFR), new products come out (e.g. 93 Cobra replica rims), and you also choose to upgrade your mods (e.g. from Eibach to Griggs). So some of the work gets re-done.

It can be an expensive hobby, but you gotta pay to play.

Yeap, Building with a plan is the key. It's funny how we spend all this money on our cars knowing we won't get it back. What the F#ck are we thinking?

Let's see:

22,500 out the door for the Mach 1
I've already paid off about 5k so I now owe about 17k. (I plan on having it paid off by the end of the summer woohoo.)

Other then that she's stock except for window tints which cost me about $150-200 bucks.

I have other plans but I'm getting the car paid off first that's my main goal.
