that's like, $5 in gas to get home, and then how much ever it will cost to fix all his mistakes!
sooooo, it would end up around $3,500

Looks like you've got a good start, though. $3,500 isn't too bad.... Atleast your rig will be nearly bulletproof. Looks like you have the right idea & a good start.
If I added up what I'm into my '85 Toyota, I'd probably have a Heart Attack.

I paid $1k for the tub/frame/hardtop and truckload of misc parts...scrapped the frame, got one from CrOut, sold the OME springs it had to a guy in Texas and kept the rest... so in the end the initial purchase was around $500... not too bad. Take not ALOT of labor was put into it...
I also did a spreadsheet and the result is unbelievable. I added up all the things I have put on and taken off my Jeep and it is simply scary. It doesn’t include little things like starters, alternators, tune up stuff, etc.
I have saved every major receipt I have ever gotten for my jeep since I bought it in 1991 for 3700 bones.
In the condition it's in right now it's worth about 15k on paper, although I would never get even close to that if I tried to sell it, not that I ever would, you know how that goes.
I'm hoping to get the buggy going for considerably less.

yeah, considering when I built it up last time I had receipts for over $15K(not including purchase price)...after seeing that I could waste that much money and still not be happy with it I decidednot to keep track of this build-up
I think I am doing pretty good...
yeah i am into my jeep over 10k and it is still in my damn garage! i lack motivation and my new job is too tiring. i think i am going to cry...
i almost just want to get my xj done so i can start working on the sami... something with a frame, how refreshing!
