Reality check

[Tom's EK2]

I've never seen anyone say what they have in their projects. Approximately $50,000.00.
Purchase price $12,000.00.

If you started just with that bare body, you did darn good with $38 assuming the 50 included the purchase price.

12 plus the 38 for 50.
I did get some parts with the car. No drive train, doors and some interior parts. Alot of work myself. Sheet metal, frames, new parts, still surprised at the amount of cash it takes to complete one.

If you have most of the parts & the work is well done $60-70k is typical

THANKS. I would have never thought it would cost that much.

I restored cars for clients for about 14 years , the price doesn't change much , I worked for far less than I should have but passion is passion , the #s don't vary by much , Engine builds , body & paint interior etc are similar . Even better aftermarket parts vs original can be similar in price .
Where the difference comes in is how much work you do yourself & how complete the car us when you start , locating impossible to find parts drive up the price .

I think you did really well...I would have been doing jumping jacks with that number......
