Live in Australia and try to build a high end Camaro....
Car US$9,000 = AUD$16,500 landed and sitting in my yard
My car is incredibly custom
I have over $100,000 (AUD) just in parts in it.
Mind you there is $15,000 (AUD) just in shipping and tax and duties fees
I haven't worked out exchange rates fees but probably another $10K+ in those
All that and we still have only JUST started paint prep.....
and I thought I started with a realistic budget ($180K AUD). I will exceed and on forecasts by about $20-30K.
Note I do absolutely NONE of the work myself, everything is outsourced for 2 reasons (but adds a LOT of cost):
1. I have absolutely no show quality skills and I want this car to be killer quality
2. I have pretty much no time, I work very long hours
But all up, I wouldn't have it any other way, this is a once in a life time dream for me, building this car the way I wanted it from the age of 12 !!
