Default Gosh. Loaded q.....

What is the condition right now? How old? Miles?

Most of the repairs you will need to perform (lets assume 20yr old car) are things like radiator, all rubber parts, head bolts, gaskets etc (just to mantion a few things)... A good budgetary figure is $2k-$4k. Again, there are a TON of moving parts within that range.

On-going maint, you are looking at brake pads, rotors, oil, gas. Simple stuff.

Default Not done yet ..... but so far

I am not sure how "far" I want to go.

Some guys just want springs/shocks, some bushings and brakes, and others just want more power - some want it all - lol

How "FAR" do you want to take it?

IIRC, rotors are crazy cheap - something like $7 each.
