I'm aware of that. It's just that parts more or less always stay the same price. I wouldn't want to buy a $2,000 car to have to put another $1,000 into it.
Being a VW, parts might be expensive.
Actually can be pretty cheap because there's so many errywhere.

I said "might." Some VAG cars run high retail for parts. Others are cheap.
And yes, Blendo. You are right on that one. It's just being able to lessen what we spend before buying that I like to do.
I'm pretty sure they could have sold it for scrap when the transmission went, and bought another second hand one and they would have spent less money then getting it fixed.
i bought my passat for $450. TONNES of cash to be spent here and there.... window regs/ps fluid reservoir/stereo install/tires etc. it all adds up pretty quick! At no point did i expect it to be a minter for that price though!
Grabbed a wire grinder set. Didnt work with the grinder I was using...sooo..I used a 25 grit sanding disc instead.
Ground down some of the frame, looks pretty good.
Most likely going to start to strip it and cut off the bolts and put in galv or stainless bolts and keep truckin with that.
Since your not sandblasting it id take a torch and cut all the cross members and get everything, than just bolt er back together. I started to do mine and but without a sandblaster its kinda disapointing
It's seeing things like Datsuns for sale that make me wish I had loads of money, but with my "enjoy life, stay happy, money later" lifestyle it can be hard to get that cash to justifiably spend.
