We stumble across this in The Car Lounge and were pretty intrigued by the story. This guy picked up a Lotus Elise for $4,000, and proceeded to bring it back from the dead.

We’ll try to make this an ongoing series, because honestly, who doesn’t love fast-forwarding through an unfathomably expensive build of epic proportions? This 1995 Volvo 854 T5-R is pure insanity. Not just from a simple numbers point of view, but the quality of work and the caliber of parts used, as well as the complete end result. It just goes to show, when money and time are no object, anything is possible — having a top-notch shop at your disposable probably doesn’t hurt either.

Once again, prowling around Build Threads we stumbled upon this truly insane project. The amount of money being spent here is unfathomable, but we imagine it’s far, far, far from cheap.
