Oh yea - the worst part of it is the actual purchase price Back then I was nothing of a car guy and never expected to be. So I was just buying what was going to be my one and only car, and I ended up replacing nearly the entire thing. Had I known that was going to happen, I could've easily paid half that price and put all the replacement work into it anyway.

The only reason I'm not pissed about that is by the time I really got going into modifying, it was fully paid for and I wasn't going broke or spending a good chunk of change paying it off.

I bought it for $7,000 and I've put about $8,000 into it and I don't see the money pit ending any time soon.

I am about 9k deep in my car, I bought it for a reasonable price and have put that much back into it. The depressing part is that I am about another 10k from it being completed to my satisfaction.....yeah like thats ever gonna happen.

I couldn't tell you what I have invested in my car and don't want to know. I'v had a 4cylinder in the mustang. Then a 302 and now 351. In my Falcon had a 406, 390 and now I know putting a 12 point cage and a 486ci in it.
