I paid $1,500 about 10 years ago when it was a full car in running condition (albeit very unsafe). Then $1,500-2k for sandblasting, plus quarter skins, misc paint supplies, more misc parts, and total investment thus far has got to be less than 5k. I understand the fact that I won't get my money back if I sell it now, I just didnt know if it was an under $1,000 car or maybe a little more.
My father in law has been prodding me to get to at least be a roller so it'll be more valuable. Get the frame back under it, suspension back together etc...Im debating that now...I know if I get that far i'll just want to finish it though...
