All of the above have well over 25k in parts alone. I am just trying to help this vast group of interested buyers understand there is no 20-30k market for well built 1st gens.

I am just trying to help this vast group of interested buyers understand there is no 20-30k market for well built 1st gens. My price is excellent for someone actually interested in this market. Understood, but corvette brakes and Ls1’s aren’t that much anymore and would give you 90% of the performance. I know it wouldn’t be a 100K+ car but lots of money in those builds are pure labor and markup. You’re car is a prime example, I know you put lots of time into it, but I’m guessing you don’t have 50K into it… ---

Id guess I have around 20k in parts on mine… the car wasnt free…or the paint job… … But you are correct im not 50k in. Nor am i 15k like many think they can someohow pull of siqqqqqqq builds for… … But yes many shops cranking out 100k builds that truthfully neither of us probably are capable of making are in fact trying to make money from their efforts which does mean labor/profit drives up costs… Lastly no matter what nyspeed thinks it does not change the marketplace… so if you think you would enjoy building a 1st gen I will say its hard to atleast not get your money back. But hardly as cheap to build as some think. ---

Restoration costs, paint, body work, seasl, hoses, lines, fitting bolts ect, add up fast. Building an old car is much different than modding a new car. People always ask why I haven’t swaped an STI motor into my beetle yet, like it some weekend honda swap, I most likely won’t ever do it unless my son shows interest when he is older. I would need to budget around $15k for parts and countless hours of labor. This does not take into consideration that the car has already been painted, interior redone, upgraded suspension, brakes, and tires. ---
