Broom adds atleast 10kw. Not to mention its red..!

Looks great as always, goodluck for a speedy, trouble free build.

Curious, do you have a spreadsheet on costing for all of the work to date? I don't want to know the figure, just if you kept tabs?

charlie_91 · Postby **charlie_91** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 7:08 am

Nope. I think I would hate to see the total amount lol. I know it's a lot but then again not everything has gone to plan

I don't mind though, as long as its what I hope it will be then I'll be happy

I live my life by this. In the end it's all only money, you earnt it, spend it in a way that makes you happy.

Yeah see that's it. I know for a fact that people would frown upon me and the amount of money that goes into this but at the end of the day, I'm only 20, I work hard and this is what I want to spend my money on

House and that can come later

I'm betting that Charlie, like many of us modders, doesn't even want to know how much he's already spent on the car - better to look upon it as a hobby, that way you don't feel bad about how much you've actually spent on the car and don't have to justify it.
