Way too much. Last time I added it all up, it was over 6 grand. And that was before the new motor (3k), 5 speed (1.1k) and Pro Stars (550)

The '95? 1k for the car, coupla hundred for the compressor and air ride module and a coupla hundred for tires.
 
I bought the Conti for a little over 3g,s I have put about 2500-3000 into it in the past two years this is including prevantative maintenance and all repairs
(not including gas) :L
 
Nada. Not yet. I'm selling my 89 and 100% of the money that brings is going straight into the 77. First things first, the tranny. $750 installed. (I'm not gonna do that one myself) Then the exhaust, about $400 installed. (I might actually just do the install on the exhaust myself.) Then the carburator (which I probably will do myself) and the spark plugs (which I will definitely do myself). Then any suspension work it needs (which I think is none.) Then replace the valve cover gaskets... aw heck, just replace the valve covers with chrome ones. Then swap out the pumpkin with a lower geared one. So I'm looking at spending a couple K. And that's if the oil pressure light that comes on at a stop is not an engine problem, but a bad sensor (or bad oil) I have yet to hook up an oil pressure gauge to it, and it wouldn't do me real good anyway til I get the tranny done and can drive her. But if the bearings are going bad, there's some more george right there. But again, I'm still gonna do the tranny, exhaust, carb and plugs first before I really dig into the engine.
 
Maintenance, still needs some lil things, but so far maybe around $2,500 but im too lazy to look through the receipts i saved.
interior wood trim: $450
system: $2,200
peformance: well the only performance i added so far (key words here)was a chip and that was $375
 
Iv'e got prolly around 15000 in upgrades (not including the normal wear and tear stuff on the 94. Most of the good stuff is'nt even installed yet. Oh, that 15,000 is'nt including the original $41,000 price

I've only got the purchase price of the 95 right now. I'm not gonna say how much cause you guys would kill me because of the deal I got.
