Almost ditto. Still haven't received the total bill yet - but am expecting the final one to be at least $600 in parts alone, plus any labour they may charge.

Car cost $3500
Repairs to date $2000 (includes completely new and upgraded cooling system )
Expected further repairs $1000
Bill yet to be received $1000

So that's $7.5K for a 95 "rough" NF Fairlane V8 on gas, but at the end of it, it will be mechanically sound, but still rough (a sleeper, I guess).
