I have over $35,000 in my Scamp not including my labor and yea I could have paid the same for a car already done but I like the idea I built it and had a great time doing it.I don't... i have receipts in a pile.. and a lot go straight to the garbage.. i don't wanna know... Ballpark i have well over 20k into a car worth 10k... I honestly could have bought a perfect c5 vette.. and turbos by now for less..
