god, wouldn't know where to start, lots of things done in the last 5+ years
must be over $10k in wheels and rubber at my house right now though.
plus all the mk3 gear/cars that iv been collecting the past 6months.
bit sad for a super slow, stock looking car that now is worth like $5k
Nice !!! Please excuse my ignorance but what year is she?

Not much on my Golf. Been there done that.
In the late 90s I had spent 30K on a lancer.
Sure I loved it and it munched everthing, whilst being a sleeper but when you can't insure it for what it's worth, then I just can't make sense of it.
Actually, come to think of it, I spent huge on everything up until then but things have changed dramatically since.
Our daily "to the station car", cost a massive $400.
My Charger owes me very little for what she's worth.
RX7, have spent in total what she's insured for.. maybe a little more.
Mini, will be also close to what she's insured for.. when finished.
With the Golf, am happy to spend on little things like; N75, TIP and CAI etc but just can't justify a K04 & retune etc.
The reason is simple, that's not what I bought the car for. Is supposed to be a daily after all and I'm an old fart.
The other reason is MY WIFE WOULD LITERALLY KILL ME!!!

$3000
and that just got me wheels, suspension and about 75% of the interior
I don't plan on going over 10 grand...on a mk1
I wish i knew what i got my self into before i started and bought somebodies project car that they spent alot of money on.
Power down isn't too bad but at the end of the day it's still front wheel drive so standing starts aren't it's forte. Last time I checked a 0-100 it was around 6 sec so not much difference compared to a stock car - it's in the higher gears that you notice (and can use) the power. With a mate driving it ran 1:10.1 around Wakefield last year - it's a circuit that suits smaller cars but for comparison Warren Luff testing for Motor Magazine ran a 2008 WRX STI around the track in 1:10.2.
Nothing of the Polo in it's current stage (I just remembered I hadn't included the vinyl wrap in my mods list) but a few months ago before I ripped off the vinyl it looked like this:
It's now back to black waiting for me to figure out what colour to wrap it next.
I think I'm past/up to 100% of the purchase price on mine.
Have been told NUMEROUS times that I should have bought a common car (white good on wheels).
But I don't think I could ever go away from VAG cars now, addicted from less 2 years ownership
That 911 is gorgeous bigfoot, I take it you've owned it for a while going off the photo?
MK2 - *Insert list of dealer purchased extra's/standard features here*
80 series - The MK2's BIG, Sooty, polar opposite...
HAHAHA
definitely past the 200% mark, and still not where i want it yet.
true ryan... i'm always getting told the amount of time and money i spend on my car, i could have bought a brand new one for the same price. i too am a VAG addict, wouldn't have it any other way
beauty 911 bigfoot
