there still isnt a whole lot of money into it, (yet) the VR cost 650 to completely rebuild, and thats pretty much it. everything else was laying around or really cheap.

whats left:

paint 300 ish
suspension 600 ish
seam sealer and finishing body stuff maybe 100ish

turbo kit :) depends, its in the works, i got him a VF39 STI turbo for christmas that will make a valver just scream and we gots one of them too so who knows!

got a full day in on matts car, ground out ALL of the seam sealer on the front inner fender, used a wire wheel and grinder, and shot it all over myself/garage. once it was clean and found zero rust, i then seam welded every inch of where two/three panels come together. just the spot welds allow more flexing, and we wants no flexing :) will post pics one of these days :)
