Bought car for $600. Spent $5,500 on it so far.
my little 15 inch wheeled girls car has cost me around $7k so far, INCLUDING replenishables like tyres and brakes (2 sets each, but tyres are cheap when you've only got to shop for 15 inch 195 section...)
looking at another couple of grand for a new clutch + install (im guessing) in the near future too... yay!
at the moment im not trying to "mod" it, per se, because i (personally) dont think that there's any point in upsetting the car's dynamic balance (which i've worked a bit to achieve, given that it's a nose heavy diesel) by adding more power, and i'm starting to think that i could spend another $10k on it and i'd only be chasing incremental gains - still wouldnt be as much of a driver's instrument as something like a clio...
so after the clutch, it's happily back to keeping it how it is, and only having to worry about maintenance
Mine would be a lot more if I had not done most of the work myself or had mates help me... That has saved me a hell of a lot in fitting labour.
