Well, I probably have another $150-200 in parts in it due to needing a few minor things sorted (tie rod ends, alignment, cam seal, PCV system clean out, etc.). Still though, that is less than most people pay for a non-running project car and I was able to drive this thing home when I bought it. Originally it was just going to be a parts car for my other Metro but it turned out to be so good that I made it my daily driver. My other Metro (that I got for $350) is being built from the ground up with a goal of 50 mpg city and 70 highway. I'm still gathering parts for it though so there really isn't enough yet to do much of a build thread.
