The frightening thing is that with what she has spent on that KA (cost of the car + cost of mods), she could have purchased the best RS500 on this forum AND had enough change to also buy the best 3 DR on here

I very much doubt that matches what people have spent on the best 3dr and best rs500 on here doug though.

After all ive spent about 15K on mine in total, and its only a fucking replica so imagine how much a decent real one would have cost.


Reality is that she would probably struggle to see any more than saphire money if she sold it.

VERY expensive hobby building cars like that!
