save for the upfront purchase of the bar and the lights, the wallet hasnt felt a thing. wet/dry paper, primers, fillers, epoxies, fibreglass kits, resins, all that have been purchased when needed over the last few years, just use what i have.
once i get the prep done to an acceptable standard, all itll cost from there is paint (~$100), and a jar of coffee ($30).
fixing that crack in the corner is gonna be a bit of a pain though.
