Kind of scary, adding up a parts list for appraisal
It's kind of freaking me out a bit seeing how much money I have actually put into my FB. I compiled a list of most (can't remember them all) of the parts on my car. Looks like I am about at the $40, 000 dollars american, remember this doesn't include the fact I paid duty on most of the parts as they crossed the border and frieght on large items.
This also doesn't include all the time for labour, body work, paint, tint, alignment, tuning. I hope to never sell this car after knowing that resale value would be a complete joke. Scary how fast the parts list adds up though.
Here is my list, like I said not complete and some things are just quick estimates on the pricing... Just want a good estimate for when an appraiser looks at it for insurance purposes.

My head's still buzzing with the $5K you have in rims and a rear axle!
Don't be surprised if your insurance co. just looks at it as a 30 yr old car with about $40K worth of add-ons. Still a 30-yr-old japanese car
And if they DID offer $40K worth of insurance, hate to think what the cost would be...! Advice:
pass on the insurance, just bolt all those $$ bits into the next RX if this one gets totalled.

Yes, it's called an "agreed value" policy. Covers what you say it's worth as long as the insurance company signs off too. Higher values do cost more but they take into account how these types of vehicles are typically used and are more afordable. You have to go to a speciality insurer like Hagerty. There ARE some companies that advertise no mileage restrictions.

On the other end of the scale from the OP, after 20 years of ownership, I'd be shocked if I've spent a total of more than $12,000 on my car for parts & maintenance, including original purchase.
Some day, I should go thru the receipts book (2 inches thick by now) and add them all up.

Right after highschool I went into college to be a mechanic. From the age of 19-21 I pretty much made $3500 take home a month, only real bills were $1000 a month for rent/savings fund for a house, car insurance, and the occasional tools.
I must admit now after buying a house money is very tight, currently the girlfriend is going to school so I am paying pretty much all the bills single handed. But I have basically everything I need for it to be finished so I am very happy.
Basically just over time I added up lots of parts, things that I figured would work the way I wanted.

let me know how you do on the Insurance Dan.
I got alot in my car too.( well,heart and soul,.and as much money as I could stick into it,being retired).
I can't have assets over 5K..and I got more into the car than that.
The Insurance company wants Receipts of the Stuff that I have on the car to prove it is worth the amount.I bought alot off of Guys on Forum.
I may just hand them my Paypal Statement..lol!

I sure will, just need a couple of last things and I am going to have an appraiser come to my work (working at a car dealership makes this alot easier to get someone quick). But I may have the same issue as you having bought alot of stuff slightly used, one off, and modified to work items.
I just want a fair price set, so I can get classic car insurance for full replacement value. What scares me the most is the fact that with projects like mine... someone will make a mistake and end up driving right into it, and I want to be covered if that happens.

I bouht hagerty insurance for my sa. It's covers every where except on the track and in grid.
I sent in pic's of the car from all sides the motor and the interior. and then totaled my reciepts plus I added in parts that I bought used or that I didn't have reciepts for anymore. I came up with a price of about $12,000. And I am paying around $220-$250 a year. The rx7 is also old enough in Ohio to get Historical plates which was a one time cost of $25 and are good for 50 YEARS.
