So, I was talking with some friends about what it would take to make the celica "show quality" by April of next year. Sat down, got out an excel spreadsheet, and started in
At first, I only put down what I've already bought:  *dies* apparently I've already spent $2704.00 on her. So... then I added all the future stuff I'd need to make it "show" quality:  *dies* Turns out I forgot about the 60 I already spent on clear turns and sidemarkers, but no matter. $10,583.00!!! gahhh btw, thats all in planned chronological order. The paintjob is only for the body panels that I replace (like the fenders, or if I get a bodykit) and ghosting- which is being done by a friend. Any costs WAYY off? I've put the turbo project pretty high up there, it includes exhuast and engine work that needs to be done before the turbo gets slapped on.. I hope. |

Are you actually going to spend that much money tho? how much have you spent already? the reason I gasp is because I plan on spending all that money

nice spreadsheet... but its best not to think about these things. just keep it incremental, don't add the whole sum up. ignorance is bliss

$500 paint job isnt going to win you shows. A good paint job is at least $3000

I know, I know I COULD spend like, 60 Gs or more on the car; but around 10- thats what I plan to spend- why be unrealistic? I could say I want to spend 60- but in reality.. 10's good.
After 10, there will still be a lot of work to be done; but I set that list to be the bare minimum |

ok just dont want you to get hopes up about winning any shows or anything!
some people seem to think that with a few mods that they are in the running to win shows! i planned to get my car into HIN this year but went to register too late. but when i do do a show im not even gonna be judged cuz the way i see it is "why be judged when my car will never win anything except for maybe someday 'best female car' <--usually taken by a civic or integra up at the shows here in WA -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City
