How much did it cost to build your car?

[REVLIMIT]

So far I spent about $3,500 on parts alone on my current car (a large chunk of it was for my 6 speed trans which was about $2,000 total). But now I'm starting on a new project car and that adds another 3,500 to that. I'm going to be swapping over all the parts I have on my current car so total for the next car I guess would be about $7,000 if not more O_o I dont feel to bad about it though. Considering my car has more suspension then most race cars and D1 sponsored cars. Also because the motor for my next car has 425hp/459lbs

650 for my car when it wasnt running. cost less than 50 to get it running,

more than 300$ worth of stuff at only 100$ spent in all...what a bargain.

Rx-7s.....who said there's no hope of a non working engine at 201K miles?

ha. wrong.

95 240sx SE: 4600

By the end of project Celica, at least the end of what I can see so far, my guess will it will be about Over 10k. Not very much compared to some of you guys, but things for an 85 Celica come cheaply. : O

Car still has rust and looks like crap riding on cut springs and blown shocks in front. The good news is now it's ready for some suspension mods. Everything works so that is good

Some may think I have put in too much for what I have. I'll put it like this. I love it, I live in FL (where GTS are impossible to find for sale) and... I love it. yeah

Just a word to anyone wanting an AE86, they have quite a few "hidden" costs since they are so old.

Ghetto 86:






Like I said. GHETTO.
