So far the only cost of rebuilding the car was buying the shell, which came with almost everything I need to put my car back together. The amount of work involved isnt important to me really.

And It would of been close to the same amount of work because its not as simple as take off stuff then put stuff back on. Plus I dont want to have to repaint an entire car. This way I only have to repaint half of an entire car.

Im not spending any more money on a KA other than 100$ in new gaskets and stuff.

Thanks MaximaZX, I wish my paint job looked as nice as yours. I used to hate this color red but its starting to grow on me a bit.
