The DEMONX 1970 vert project
demonx:
I just spent about half an hour on the calculator and when I added up all the sub totals my heart nearly missed a beat!
Just parts and postage I've thrown in over 12k and I haven't bloody started on the expensive stuff yet! I will admit a big chunk of that is the wheels/tires - but damn... it went fast.
I then estimated what it'll cost after I've finished with the other stuff I want to change - that 12k will jump to 25k + by the time the cars on the road and that's not including the cost of the car and shipping etc.
I've been keeping a list of every part I install/change. It's a scary list. 3 pages so far on MS Word. Like I said before I've hardly started!
Just venting - I know you've all been through this! I've just been spoilt as my last Vette hardly needed anything spent on it!
Ok - back to the garage...

Started gutting the interior today.
When I unscrewed the small gauge bezel I found a heap of leaves and other crap behind the dash, so I was pulling it all out. More and more, then all of a sudden I pulled out a dead rat!
Scared the crap out of me. I threw it faster than I could tell what it was! I had to go get it and inspect to know it was a rat!
When I get more time, maybe on te weekend I'll strip back a bit more. Unfortunately when I pulled it all apart I found a lot more work that needs to be done. Broken heater cables and that sort of stuff. Lots of electrical wires that lead no-where and all those lovely mysteries.
MADLT1:
