Bought my GT-Four June 2006, fresh from Japan, first Mods Jan07, since then... I try not to think about how much I have spent (still paying off the Engine build), especially since it is sitting quietly in a Garage in NZ while I waste away in Aust...
In my case I went through several celicas and none of which were ever complete. There was always something else around the corner that could have been modified. I think best thing to do is to have a VERY CLEAR idea in your head and stick to it. For example I will not be showing my car at shows but I want it to look nice for the street. Therefore things like super sparkly shiny chromed out engine are not a high priority but lets say functionality is.
I got my 1st celi in 98 and that was 1986 celi, in 99 I got a 1987 celi, in 2001 I got a 1993 all track which lasted me until we messed up the nitrous , 2001 I got a 1994 celica and had it until 2005. Had it all fancy on the outside but parted out car with a broken heart. 2005 I got a daily driver celica which I parted ways with in 2007. 2007 I got this celica and did the engine swap and started working on body but a whole 2 years later my car is in the same state it was 2 years ago.
My completion date is 2010 so just because my car is not finished does not mean I am stressing over it. After all if I had a car that was done in 2001 what would I have done all these years not upgrading or working on it?!
