[Posse]

[flyingbanana]

too long,too much,.....so busy doing few projects at the same time

[Twinkle]

i daren't work it out

[Tom]

7 years. too much money but soooo much fun - there's always other things i wanna do to it. if i ever finish it i'll get bored

 

 

oh yeah i do it cos i love it ykt

[Wessie]

had it 3 years, been working properly on it for 6 months bt it will be ready on the road for ford fair 09 i hope (depending on funds)

[atomic punk]

Been on the Escort for over 4 years but then I was using it as well as repairing it for most of that time

 

And its cost me peanuts cos I refuse to pay cranked up prices

[Doc]

My car has been a moneypit !! Probably £4k so far and i reckon it will cost another £2.5k to get it painted and finished ... 4 years so far

 

But we know that wont be the end ....

 

 

Wanna link it , coilovers , stroke the engine and find a way to supercharge the essex or find a 300zx twin turbo engine to swap in there

 

It will never end !

[emu]

A year give or take a couple of days.

[60ftman]

About 4 years so far and about £8k.

 

Works out less than £40 a week. Far better value than a couple of nights down the pub.

 

Money well spent

[Posse]

deffo m8 i need to start cutting down on things me thinks

[Vista]

5 years and around £10k on my old capri GXL. it was delayed by maybe a year or so by a bodyshop that kept promising to get onto it and never did. Then went bust and I had a battle with the receivers to get it back.

[pelvins]

nine years ! virtualy finished now, just over £23k took so long finding what works and what dont , waiting for others and i dident have a money tree , worth it in the end though YKT

[PIG]

18-20 grand over 6 years.shit loads but worth the wait when i took it out for the 1st time.fooking mental and wouldnt change a thing but then yfkt

[ExotronGammaPlusSequencer]

The 100e was built in 5 months & owes me a little over 2k,was difficult getting motivated to work on it outside in the cold winter months but the comments it got during the build & at shows etc made it all worthwhile..........it still makes me grin like the first day i took it round the block

[russ105e]

Taken 3 1/2 years and about 6k ish.Off the road again at the moment for more mods and put a few things right.Work mates think i'm mad but i love the car and the scene.I know people that put the same amount of money up there nose,but i've got something i'm proud off

[Jelly]

I know people that put the same amount of money up there nose

 

That's a bloody good point, that mate.

[100ejohn]

Ive had the car for about a year, not spent no money yet or atleast hard money, the back end is nearly back to bare metal but then stopped due to my family car engine was not what i wanted so had to dig that out and rebuild that, decided to get a new engine for it and so it left me with a spare engine, so i thought a 100e would be nice with a cossie lump in it with a garrett bolted to the side

[Johnson]

its never cheep, but its worth it

[105Nick]

My brother's spent over ten years on his Cobra, I daren't ask how much

 

I had the Escort four years, spent the first two on it as best I could, but had a succession of bad luck - ie it fell to bits on me, parents wanted a new porch built, some walls moved in the house and the driveway block paved before I could bring it home, plus building two stables as some

sh!te burn it down as soon as we had finished the first, plus a few break ins in the shed including someone nicking our generator and tools, so I decided to give it a rest for a while.

 

Anglia I bought February, but it's been off the road six months due to a top end rebuild when the head gasket went, followed by a complete strip down when the piston rings and bearings followed! Running in circles but it's geting there now.

[BaileyMex]

About three years to current spec,

 

but are they ever finished??

 

Mine has all been done in stages on a budget, but I dont care coz I love it

[Gareth]

have you spent on your projects?why so long money time etc?

 

Nearly 2 years of solid weldin, metal fab, prep work dude

 

so far, it's upto about £4,500,

that includes £1900 I spent on an MOT'd heap

 

The Capri took 6 weeks ish an £500

 

That includes £150 purchase price

[Rich Sav]

mine will be 3 years on the 1st of feb

 

ive got a list of everythin ive brought 4 it and its a bit scary its comin up 2 11k but thats incldin buyin the car which was 2k

[Mark2Mark]

Just coming to the end of the 3rd year on the mk2

many reasons

1. Money (or lack of)

2. I keep the car at work so it is getting difficult to work on it

3. For some reason i bought an anglia while the escort was off the road now that is taking up all my spare time/cash!

And no i don't even want to know how much it's costing because i may cry,

but one day, one fine day she will live again as a fire breathing, forest arched, caged beast!!!

[tim]

[antz]
