Not a lot, certainly the least i have for several years due to buying a new house this year, probably about 10K on modded bits this year i expect.

I make a point of NOT keeping records though. lol

well i bought my car in february 2003 for £12,600 and spent a couple of grand that year....then i stripped her to a shell last winter, carted my engine off to harveys for a 400bhp large turbo conversion and built the car back to concours winning standard and in total now i think i am talking about.......

£35,000 and still not finished, another £5000 should do it

Rs Baz

Probably more like £60k if I accounted for everything!

And its sat in the garsge partially stripped awiting more money to be spent on it!!

mattbibs

do the big spending cossie boys actually think you are getting value for money or is it just addictive?

id love to drive one down the road knowing it is perfection in every way, but you cant really put a price on that sort of thing!

Ian3dr

Certainley not value for money!

But at least the money hasnt been injected in my arm of pissed up the wall

Rs Gus

iTrader: (2)

id say prob 20k incl buying the car since march

Lee Reynolds

i just dont see the attraction. I fooking love the RS Marque, but unless i t was something totally unique, i couldnt spenf the kind of money on old fords that some people have stated on this post.

I mean FFS TT....25k?????????????????????????????????? The car looks amazing But at the end of the day its an rst with a nice dash(that is NOT an insult BTW) .

Ian3dr

The thing is you dont set out to spend that kind of money. If I had all the money I have spent in the past in one lump sum, I certainley wouldnt do what I have done!

Seeing that you can buy a concours 3dr for say £13000

Its just that it seems to snowball making the car bigger and better, and before you know it, a fews years have gone by, and you look back and think oh fook!

But its all fun, and you have to keep the old Fords on the road to show the new modern Scoobys/Evos the way its done!

Anonymous

not enough. well i bought her last yr

Lee Reynolds

i agree with ya Ian...got to keep the old ford on the road deffo i am a true fanatic in that sense...but all that wonga! I suppose over a period of time it isnt so bad....just when its typed in front of you ya think JESUS CHRIST!!!!

Got to say tho mate, ya certainley can see where ya monies gone on urs

I think if i saw it escalating tho id sell, and buy something and start again lol.
