$150k into a $10k car staring down another $60-80k to get it done… yeaaaahhhhhh

The math adds up perfectly one for the car, two for the parts, and three for the divorce lawyer. Truly a solid $120k investment.

I could’ve bought a far nicer VW Westy for much less than I’ve sank into the free one we got. Don’t even get me started on the Scirocco I’ve only just begun on. Ouch. Worth every penny.

One day I will spend inexcusable money for a VR6 Corrado.

That’s the Scirocco for me. I will spend whatever it takes to get it back on the road with everything done to it I couldn’t do when I was a kid. And if a Corrado happened to come my way in the meantime I’d jump all over it. I type this as I’m staring at my Mini project, daydreaming about getting my Rabbit pickup finished. It’s a disease.

My FIL has a ‘71 911E and I do not envy the parts cost

[-]

HandsomeDevil77@reddit

What parts specifically?

[-]

I_amnotanonion@reddit

Heater box on the exhaust system, and parts for the automated clutch system

I have so far spent $35k on my '69 911E. $14k to buy, $20k+ on DIY rust repair alone. I'm really hoping to get the restoration done in 5 years for total of $50k, but time will tell.
