I don't think I've spent more than $1500 since June of 2002.

 

Tie rods

Electrical issues

1 set of tires

1 brake job (need another soon)

 

 

That's about it.

I'll try to get something soon, but I was very shocked on how well it sounded... Hell, it even isn't overly loud either, but has a nice noticable tone... I was just hoping it didn't have a mind hurting resonance that GM 2.8/3.1's are known for...

 

Oh BTW, The cat is still in place, so that helps act as a resonator...

lol I went through 3 subframes on my 88' =O

 

They are pretty cheap now and I think if I do a refurb on it ... a 4th but will be UBER-rust protected.

With all the trial and error in my suspension and the wheels, paint, interior, etc, etc, plus the purchase price of the car 3 years ago ($5500) I am reaching the 20k mark.

My wife's 95 I have under $800 and will have pretty much the whole car built for under 10k. I have learned alot in 3 years.
