how long have you had your car and how much have you spent?

[killer5.0]

i just bought it in october and added all my purchases up last night and was a little shocked....ive spent over $6k already what about you guys?

 

[tims 86]

whatever you think you spent, double it and thats the real number!

 

[87GT Drop Top]

I've had mine for 14 months. Counting the engine I just ordered from Fordstrokers, I'm at about $12,000 not including what I paid for the car.

 

[JamesB88]

7 years, Last time I added it all up it was 12k+ and it is still 3 differnt colors and rusty.

 

[Stever89]

6 months, about 200 bucks.

 

[Ozz]

10 years, and I stopped counting around $24K. That was prior to a $3K transmission build, Bullitt brake swap, heads, S-trim upgrade, another tune, and a bunch of minor engine pieces that all add up. I'd rather not know specifically anymore, especially since I'm looking to put a new cloth top on it soon.

 

[1990Coupe]

My current stang i have had since July of 08' and i have roughly 5k into it including the cost of the car.

 

[Uber88GT]

Traded my 05 honda shadow for the 88GT last october, spent about $13-14K on suspension and engine, still need a paint job....

 

[GroverDill]

Almost 15 years and I don't want to know.

 

[Shaolin Crane]

2 years and around 15k not including the engine

It's not a Mustang (will be buying either an '11 or '12 5.0 for my latest toy), but I've had the '05 Bird for five years (special ordered from Ford 2 weeks before production stopped). The only 'up' I've added are the WW's...but she's babied on a regular basis (will go to my oldest grandson when I'm gone).

[MAC'n89Blckstng]

I've been building my car for 2.5 years and I have about 14,000 into it and that doesn't count the money I put into the 89 that donated alot of parts to that car!

 

[ACSPONY]

Had it since Feb 07 and have put less than $1000 into it haha. New tires, CAI, fan clutch, x pipe. I need to replace the valve cover gaskets before I put any more go-fast parts on.

 

[fiveohwblow]

Since 02, around 20k including cost of car and I got a pretty good deal for a virgin...

 

[tannerc91gt]

2 years, never kept count really. I'd say close to 10k and I haven't really gotten anywhere yet

 

[JRoush]

I have had my car for 19 years. I'm not sure how much money I have spent on her. I will just say its over 15k.

yeah ive done them plenty, they are a walk in the park compared to the coilover style in the f body where the bolt is in a bowl and gets rusted together. we ended up cutting the shocks and having to get new ones. and getting the rest of the shock out of the mounting kit. was just a pita
