how much is invested in your ride Reply #5 – November 14, 2005, 11:50:40 PM Well, it's true. I've always been told if it had t*^$ or tires, it's going to give you trouble.Well my car has been pmsing monthly since I got it. One day it runs great, next day something breaks and bye bye money. Oh well, it's almost a new car now... not much left to replace. Quote Selected
how much is invested in your ride Reply #6 – November 14, 2005, 11:53:45 PM oooh...good thread. about 1100 as it sits with the purchase price of the car including cost of and disposal of the parts car. and whatever parts i needed to assemble it.doesnt include any new parts wating to go into the car. i was a little supprised at how the cost of stuff sneeks up on you. as specially when your deliberatly trying too look the other way. the problem with that is most people say that as far as a project car goes, take whatever you think its gonna cost to build the way you want to and basically double it. i honestly cant see spending more than 15-18k over time.reminds me of a quote i heard over at nato...Quotemy biggest fear is after i die, the wife selling the car for what i told her i have into it.....or something like that....

how much is invested in your ride Reply #12 – November 15, 2005, 02:22:27 AM Well, I got the car ('85 5.0 Bird) for $380. Then I promptly spent $50 on a sensor I thought would fix the idle, and I kept on spending money on sensors, about $300 in total, and then some more money on a junkyard harness complete with computer, for another $50, and then one of my friends took pity on me and sold me a Ford stock intake & motorcraft carb for another $50, and I bought a Melling cam kit for $100 which solved the original problem.I then replaced the fan for $30, the harmonic balancer for $40, the distributor for $35, electric gas pump for $40 or something, and I think that's where I stopped. All in all including all kinds of stuff like oil, tranny fluid, I think I've spent around $1000-$1200 on it.I plan to soon spend some more money to buy an edelbrock intake and carb to put on it.
