I was just calculating how much I've spent on my current project. Including the car I'm about $6000 in to it. I've also realize that every new project has costed me less than the one before. I plan on building, painting and the cost of the car to total about $10,000. What about about you guys?

on the fastback about 20K so far and I have a non running no engine no tranny no interior no body work no brakes no suspension car.

hmmm

I still have about 30K to spend to get it the way I want.

....and it only cost 1,500 for a rust free running complete car.

Where has the money went? [Confused]
