OH MY GOD. First I should state I had no budget, just a dream to build a fast GL VW. As the bills piled up I avoided doing the math. This thread got me to thinking about how much I had already spent . Now remember, except for the original body there isn't an original part left on this car. Every nut, bolt, wire etc. has (will be) been replaced. There's a 2.6L engine ready to be installed, a Berg 5 speed (with Quaif LSD), Porsche brakes, the works. Pretty much all the parts have been purchased, only the stereo and gauges remain. All the metal work is complete, but the body work and paint still remain. As well, the interior (to be leather) and wiring still will need to be completed. So, the total to date, which includes shipping costs, duty on overseas purchases, body work, other service like media blasting and acid dipping, powder coating and of course parts: $51,866.72 Cdn. HOLY ****. I had no idea. :silly: I reckon there is still another 10~15 K to complete the project. I'm still in shock.
