I've put 138000 miles or so on it over the course of the ownership. The expense of almost everything was primarily labor that I did myself. Realistically, I guess it may be $15,000. One of these days I gotta redo the 2nd gear synchros, and my frontmain bearing seal has started leaking, but really I got no more mods to do EXCEPT FOR THE WINDOW LIFT KIT I JUST GOT FROM DR EVIL!!!! oh well. I'll add it to the list when installation is done. |
