I bought my car for $5000. Put a 1000 buks into it before it came over from japan. Then about another 1000 this summer.
Winter rebuild estimate over 10000.
then it will need paint, suspension, minor interior and small touch ups.
Originaly planned to spend alot more, but now im thinkin about moving out with my girlfriend.
That and im still only 17 :icon_razz
Just sum advice for any younger guys out there.
Working construction is alot better than anyone will tell you. Im 17, going to highschool and can still make 40G a year:icon_razz Once i graduate i will be looking at 70G a year, with benefits :biglaugh:
Im almost a fourth year apprentice soon to be making $20/hour and more while going to highschool. I listen to all my friends talk about getting 7 buks an hour and 200 buks a pay chek. 2 weeks for them is 1 day of work for me. I love my job, love my car, love my girl, and got enough $ to do what i want.:biglaugh:

LOL....agreed I am not even going to try to figure this one out. Years ago I stopped atthe 15k mark of trying to fiure out the amount. I prolly spent over 5k in the last 6 months in upgrades.
I promised myself not you keep track but I was wondering, my money was spent with price of car ($3500) and a course of 5 to 6 years.
I have to keep track, the new owner will know exactly what was done when I sell it.

Got my 89 Turbo for trade. Traded a 1996 Conversion Van for it.
Spent about 1500.00 in repairs and upgrades -
Then got a BHG
(some of the stuff that was suposed to be done by prev owner was not )
About to spend about 10k total. I agree with someone that said now I dont feel that bad spending 10, alot of you have spent so much more then that.
