How much have you spent
« on: July 30, 2008, 09:43:45 PM »
Fixing old vehicles can take alot of money. I havent fixed up something as big as a long wheel base beddy before, the largest i've done was only a 1968 f100 and was wondering how much money did you all think you were going to spend on your van at first and how much has it actualy cost!

mine cost $4997, was fitted out but was too smelly and old. So i pulled everything out and have started to grind back the rust and paint. So far i'm looking at spending another $2500 or so if i do all the fixtures, painting and rust repairs myself. But so far i've spent about $400 allready and i've just started  :o

whats your all total guys

My van cost $3000, and I thought about another $5000 would fix her up, making $8000.
My wife went through my receipts and informed me that I'm now up to $13000 total, and a year out of my life.
Nearly finished....LOL
Funny old life.

I'm going to add up all the receipts at the end... And be sitting down at the same time!
But easily over $10K so far, that's just the "expensive items" off the top of my head...

It'll all be worth it at the end though...

im real tight ay, and have not done anything yet but black beddy cost me about 1,000

and i had all the parts.. except 2 parker globes and a no plate light $3 worth

cost me a bottle of mig gas $136 between all the miging ive done on it!!

only thing i didnt replace was the body inc all doors, dragways, steering wheel, front cross member, lower wishbones and lower ball joints

roadworthy cert cost $70

and reg on monday will cost about $400

plan on maybe spending a grand on carpet and sandman rear tailgates and tail lights

so running total on the road is $1600.. not bad so far.
