i duno if my car has alot of money in it or not. i tell my friends and people who ask and they freak out, they are just punk kids my age, dumbies who cant hold a job and arent good with money.

at this point i have about 9000-10000 dollars in mods and parts for my car and i paid 3100 for it so somewhere in b/w 12 and 13k and i have had the car for about 2.5 years

seems like alot but at the same times it doesnt. never would have thought i would have the car i have today back when i first got my mustang. and i still have loads of plans for it!

I bet I'm really close to 20 grand. Kinda sucks because it is no where near a show car. But who can tell what it looks like when I'm flying by them anyways.

WAY less than 95% of people would think. Probably under $10K even with the 3500 purchase price.

Around 10k, including the $5500 for the car. But I did buy and sell many different parts and usually made money and all the work was done myself and/or with the help of acouple friends. I'll be putting about $1k more into it this winter though....which includes a clutch which WILL put it deep in the 11's. Slipping clutches=

I think I'm doin pretty good I think. Paid 3500 for the car and got around 3800 invested. Only having the car 6 months so you see where my money goes . Most of the cost has been repair but I've done nothing but replace nearly everything I can with a better aftermarket product. Bout to throw another grand at it this week and I haven't even started on paint or makin the engine stronger.

He failed to mention that he paided in noodles.

If I had to guess, I'd say around $8000. But I don't want to find out if that's right or not.

Isn't that what you paid for your STS interior conversion?
You've only bragged about your air conditioned cup holders for about 6 months now.

Um its just sickning thinking about it. What i've noticed, is your car will NEVER be "Done". Theres always something you can do to it. Its "done" when you finally totall up how much you've spent and finally stop spending money on it because your broke/in debt up to eye balls or you want other things besides a insanely priced mustang ha.

In my latest project i've been doing i've spent so much that my credit cards companys actually called with a "computer" voice saying they think my credit card is stolen ha. Which is why i couldn't order my cam bearings today cause my c.c's would go through. I had to get all my orders together so i can run it through the credit card company and it totaled out to be like $21,000 . And i still have like 2500 for engine builder, 2k for dyno/subframes/gears/labor etc./4500 for paint job(2100 in just paint! Damn paint is crazy priced!)/ 3k for tranny and parts/and another like 2-3k left for random pieces(A-100 pump and all new lines etc.) And my engine isn't chromed out or anything special, but its all brand new and silver. And thats not including the 5500.00 for the car, 2500 in brakes, 1k in ground effects, hood scoop, 600 in rims, 1k in tires, etc..

Honestly its kinda sick when you start comparing things, like i have more in my rotors then my friend bought his pick up for Or i paid more for my blower and power pipe etc.. then i did for my entire car...

I think after this project i'll be "Done" with my mustang. Although it really won't be done, but my funds say it is. And i still haven't done a black interior conversion w/custom seats and little crap like that. Thats why i'm jelous of people who can enjoy a stock mustang, cause i can't

I could of had 3-4 really nice mustangs that i could of bought up at the Auto auctions(Work at dad's dealerhship) but instead i have one insanely sick(when done) mustang that i'll be to scared to drive. hm... was it smart? I dont think so anymore

Wow, I gotta start breaking into Stangs. You guys keep a lot of money in your cars! I have absolutely nothing in there. I used to have a couple coins in the ashtray but they rattled around and annoyed me so I took them out...
