its not about the money, its about the whole experience, the stripping of the car, the nights in the garage, the immense headaches, the sleepless nights, the joy of resolving problems and finally getting it out paint and screwing it back together, the final roll out of workshop and hitting the loud pedal.
well in my opinion if you really love cars and you want your own car to b special to you u should spend as much time in the garage as possible with it and get to know every square inch of the thing and it your going to turbo her or do something else with the engine you should do it your self and not just throw her to a mechanic thats how i was tought
