[azzer1987]

Hi all making thread on how much people have spent on there cars to get them how they like them to be ? including car price when you brought car im curious what amount money is spent on getting some these cars to how they look. im guessing its shocking amount on money

[-shuggles-]

4 grand for me

[Tontsy]

on this particular one . . .
about 12k... lol.

on the saxo, before i just scrapped it, about 4-5k

on the r6 - countless!

[saxo-parts]

never spent a great deal on a road car but if i totted up how much my old winch challenge spec Defender stood me at, i'd probably die and realise i could have bought a small house lol.

[rick_VTR]

Probably about £2500

thats including a replacement gear box + driveshaft.
the few mods
the car itself was £1200
and the usual servicing/brakes/MOT's.

[azzer1987]

dam some these amount are insane lol

on this particular one . . .
about 12k... lol.

that is alot dont think ill be spending tht much on mine lol as 1.1 haha

[azzer1987]

mot and tax prices is bit stupid these days and especially when mot cost 50 + pound they find anything they can so you end up spending more

[saxo_singh]

Spent about £2,500 inc the car.

[spudders]

done evrything on the saxo myself work wise an cost me around £900
my d turb though is a diffrent matter i wouldnt want to work it out and it aint finished yet

[azzer1987]

Personally i cant wait for 2 years go by for my insurance go down before i spend money like this on mine like when i get vts or somethink but its frustrating knowing this only 1.1 and dont wanna spend so much money but i want the body be clean tidy as previous owners spray parts and it looks stupid arghhh 2 years seems long

few grand. Shit just breaks on me. So its nothing special!

[wassy78]

Way to much but doing a lot my self saves me big time I did a thread like this few months back when I added up spending nearly 6 grand on 4 sets of alloy wheels two sets for hrv and 2 sets for Saxo

[holdawayt]

I spent £600 getting the golf how I wanted it (including car). Sold it for £850

Mazda currently stands me at £700. Respray will cost 300. Should see a profit off this one too.

[Barry123]

outside of repairs probably about £1.5 - £2k

With repairs around the GDP of the EU

[saxo-parts]

1500 quid per axle, 800 on tyres, 2400 on 2 Warn winches,400 quid for winch cables, god knows how much on things like roll cages,GPS and all the other bits and bobs needed on a competetive truck, all on top of the purchase price of a 4 year old Defender, thats made me cry lol, then when its built,go out and drive it like a loon. Body damage on every event, on average 2 CV joints each month, then usual shite like prop u/j's, good fun but never again!

[wassy78]

Jay 1500 on axles omg they gold ?

[saxo-parts]

ARB difflocks 800 quid a piece (1 front,1 rear), strengthened shafts at 300 a pair (2 per axle), strengthen CV's 150 each (2 in front axle) plus all bearings etc, all to go and throw them into mud and sheep piss lol
