not as much as everyone seems to think, i'm very good at coming across rare/cheap/odd stuff and getting bargains and if i add up what i made back from selling these parts on eventually i was almost breaking even!!!

i'll do a calculation................

I reckon the golf (including purchase cost of ?3500) has cost around the 7-8k mark, but there has been a lot of modifications done to it :cool:
The Corrado has a total bill of around 11k. But I am trying to keep the look standard, and just "tweak" the engine a little bit.  :evil:

It sounded a lot when I started totalling it all up! I think buying that Porsche would have been a cheaper option after all! :cry:
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture
