I've spent $85 on a backup light switch. I'm still trying to get the old one out. I also spent $15 on an air filter but I haven't put it in yet. Finally, I spent $125 on the service manuals.

Re: How much money have you put into your Vette sence you have owned it? (18carfan)
Well, reading this thread made me feel a lot better.
I'm up to something like $9000 on my '86, without even
a new engine or paint to account for it. I've been buying
parts for the past year and a half from Superior Chevy.
Seeing Jeff's post ('18carfan'), I now know where some
of that money has going !
(actually, it's probably
been going to fix up them dang Labonte cars).

Re: How much money have you put into your Vette sence you have owned it? (blk91)
Well I am at $11,759, but that includes
383 with all the toys
Rebuilt trans, ujoints, and ballanced shafts
weather stripping
AFS wheels & tires
New exhaust from hookers to power effects
All the crap to burn my own proms
Still expecting to spend:
$1600 on suspension and GS brakes
$800 on seats
$500 on carpet, etc for interior
$???? on paint
Add $5900 for the car and I should still be under my expected $25k budget. And what a car!!!

Re: How much money have you put into your Vette sence you have owned it? (blk91)
Since purchasing my 90 ZR-1 in Nov.97,I've spent at least $30K on mods and a few repairs. New paint and the LPE aerobody installation are next. That should take another $5K or so. If it isn't one thing,it's another. :D
