around 6k - Majority is swap costs, and I have alot more to buy before that engine even gets in a bay. So...add atleast another 3k, making it 9 total. More like 15k when I'm done everything.

$2,300 for the car in 2010,
$900 for replacement clutch, ~$300 for brakes/oil, $60 for replacement front tires, $90 for lights, ~$500 dollars for new timing belt/water pump. Thats about $4150 so far which honestly isn't that bad based on my crappy student income but I still have oodles of money to spend on what I want to do to her. |
