marc_p Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I just did.......holy cr@p:blink: Put together an Excel spread sheet to get my spec list together and stupidly decided to put a 'cost' column, to think it's not done and there is still paint and interior to be done this winter, it's errrr........a tad scary.

Jamesy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 started a full list on my old silver supra and stopped when it got too crazy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 You'd be mental to add it all up. I once tried with a season of racing and quit when I hit £20k - half way through the year. The thing is, you can't put a price on the experiences You can't take it with you, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra joe Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It scares me to think, spent lots on my last supra then it only lasted 12 mins when I actually got to drive it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's never a good idea to track spending, it just leads to depression So far I've hardly spent anything (Under £200) but I've only owned it about 2 months. I have a £3000 list of stuff I want to buy and that's just for starters I won't be keeping track though haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 i decided to stop looking at my project cost when i realised i could have already bought a BPU auto.... i probably could have gotten a single auto by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I`ve just added up all the things I`ve recently bought, comes to £3116.11:blink: All this and I haven`t even picked the Supra up from Jurgen yet:D I add up the complete total which includes the cost of buying the car too lol I had done a list of parts and prices that I have spent on the car which is kinda up to date but it was not to figure out how much money I had spent, more as a project portfolio and for when the car sells .... It does add up to loads and I always wonder what I could of brought if I had saved the money but I don't regret it ... Had so much fun with the car and that's what it's all about .. Besides what ever I buy next I will do the same anyways lol What I do think about is I wonder if instead of spending all the money on the body and putting the cash into the engine for a good single ... Would I have enjoyed it more ? Edited August 8, 2013 by mplavery (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I have done a breaking list but prices are what i would sell them for NOT what i initially paid and its scary how much i have spent.... my car is worth a nice sum in parts. Wheels & tyres- £2800 brakes- £2700 Now thats scary shit!! Edited August 8, 2013 by Rob_Mitchell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I don't want to think about how much I've spent, I still have a list of what I want to do that's even scarier lol I have done a breaking list but prices are what i would sell them for NOT what i initially paid and its scary how much i have spent.... my car is worth a nice sum in parts. Wheels & tyres- £2800 brakes- £2700 Now thats scary shit!! Still thinking of breaking dude?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I added mine up including purchase cost then divided by the 12 years i owned it for and its not that scary a figure. After selling the car for £10k and then dividing by 12 its only around £2500 a year That doesn't include ins, tax, mot's, tyres or fuel though Edited August 8, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Would like to ideally sell as a car mate if im honest but breaking is still an option... its just the time involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Its scary to even think how much ive spent since 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 In my time of owning this supra which is about 2 year now i think i've spent in the region of £2700 on parts. Probably about 4k on fuel haha I'm nearly there though only another few things and my car is finished. Thank fek for that i only need to fuel it and tax and insure it from then A drop in the ocean compared to some members though i dread to think how much some people have pumped into builds.
