Whats the most you spent on junk?

I work in the VW restoration parts biz, and it's the same with all the hobbiest i'm sure...
The most expensive car you'll have is the cheapest project car you buy!
I agree that "IF" you can, buy one ready to go and put your touches on it, but for a lot of us it isn't possible, so we go the cheap project car route and buy what we can here and there to fix our project up. I'm sure if we add it all up it would have been cheaper to just get the car that was ready to go!
For me the fun has always been the build, Once it's finished I enjoy it for a bit them sell it to work on something else that catches my eye. I've done plenty of VW's and had to get back to my Mopar roots and now have 3 64 Valiant Vert Projects, Hopefully 1 will be finished and out of paint jail in the next week or 2 then I will decide what to do with the other 2...Gen 3 hemi swap?...
