nz dollars
1500 initial purchase price for a completely stripped TA23 with no motor/gearbox/driveshaft, completely rooted interior, heaps of nuts and bolts missing and all the panels sitting inside the car
6500 bodywork and paint (still needs finishing)
2500 motor, gearbox and driveshaft (will recoupe some of this when i sell my rolling body that they came out of
50 battery box
100 32mm cabling to run battery to boot
400 set of 15" wheels with no tyres
150 pair of 24mm spacers for front
60 new front discs (peugeot 604's)
70 rt132 front struts
box of beers ae82 front strut inserts
400 series 6 rx7 front seats
200 engineering work on drop tank
swapped some parts for the drop tank
probably sitting around a couple of hundred for wire, connecters, crimps, crimping tool (i'm hiding all the engine bay wiring)
i've saved a lot by farming out some of the work to various friends, like for welding, and acid dipping and stuff, plus i've got a celica mad bastard as a mate who's hooked me up with heaps of parts for free.
and i've still got a lot to go, the seats are the only piece of interior i've got, the dashpad isn't just cracked, its split in half, all the plastic pieces are cracked, i need to import some 71-72 celica taillights, i've got no extractors (and i need customs), no exhaust (and i'm going for twin's so lots of  , i need a full set of rubbers (750 or so), i've got a rear windscreen but my front ones got a crack so that needs replacing, and i still need a diff with at least disc brakes and hopefully an lsd.
how do i justify it? style, cause that's what its got. i love this car.
