nowt to do with abba

just wondering,how much cash peoples cars owe them?

be interesting to find out what the cars cost along with mods etc...

i can imagine some must be :eek: while others :D



so far i`ve spent(wasted :roll: )$320 on two cars,a 318 POS and a 325SE breaker
$250 on a set of wheels
$100 on a cheapo suspension setup
$0 on a stainless remus backbox winkeye
$25 on a rear spoiler
about $35 on lights,indicators etc

sure theres something i`m missing.......
doesnt seem like much there!!

still to recuperate(sp?)some of the cash from breaking the 2 cars but we`ll leave that out for now

:eek:

Crikey!
I've not seen that car in the metal - it must be flippin' nice!

I've spent an embarrassing Ԛ£5300 on my 335i.
You wouldn't think it by looking at it! :cry:
Nearly half of that was on the engine/rebuild and under bonnet stuff that goes with it.
The rest - The car, donor 535i, bucket seats, lsd, E36 rack, new suspension, new brakes, roll cage, cat1 alarm, oils, 17" wheels etc.
I keep every receipt I get so that includes EVERYTHING - nuts, bolts, washers, bulbs, antifreeze and maintainance costs so far - the lot.

I don't really care though, I enjoyed putting it together and have a fantastic feeling of achievement that I wouldn't have got from just going out and buying a car. That is priceless! :D

I haven't finished yet. 8O

Still got to sort out body/paint, anti-roll bars, poly bushes, bigger brakes, fix whatever I break first :twisted: and other stuff I get tempted with along the way.

But hey, who cares, it's only money

They are nice pics dude - that car looks flippin' gorgeous!
Well done to you and your dad! :D
