sinkhole for money

when I first got the car, i paid a thousand dollars to
have the brakes professionally done.  Waste of money
that was, but I got 2 new loaded calipers and new rear
brakes as well...I got a new battery and the exhaust
repaired in that, too.

1000 so far.

I've shucked out about 500 to get the A/C
working...and another 200 for tires, plus 300 for the
new electronic ignition, with new cap, wires, plugs,
etc

2000 so far.

dual exhausts cost me nearly 500, new radiator was
300, alternator, belts, hoses are another 100, and I'm
sure there's 100 more tied up in odds and ends.

3000 so far.

I've also got a nice stockpile of NOS and good used
chrome going, for when I finally get her painted. 
Prolly about 500 in Imperial parts sitting in my
bedroom.

I do need to replace bushings, and repair the front
anti-sway bar,plus paint the thing...I'm probably
looking at 2000 to 2500 more to have her where I want her.
