Over the 11 years about 40k But that includes 3 engines, 4 gearboxes, and 9 sets of wheels Trouble is 14k of that was last year alone, and i've done 2.5k already this year

make that 2k of YOUR money


think my Mk6 had a good bit spent on it.

and the cossie had about the same lol.
as i wasnt wanting mental power or anything out of it, was just happy to
keep it useable.

all good fun though isnt it. !

About 13k and I think I'm going to need to rebuild the engine by the end of the year and I think my gearbox is on its way out (that'll be my third box then)

Mods so far for this season
gearbox £2500
engine build , new turbo and ancillaries £8500
New front suspension , dampers and cases , shouldve been £6000 but got away with £2000 , phew

After all that when it started 1st time today after 8 months in bits i still think its worthwhile !

on my old cossie i spent about 15k odd, however before buying my latest one was adament i was not going to spend a lot on it. Since buying i have spent about 1k, mainly service items etc, but some bits which are not on yet, i plan to enjoy the car, not just spunk money on it and be able to sell whenever i get bored and not be ot of pocket to much, at the moment its bang on, and if i sell tomorrow i prob wont even lose money lol,
