I'm $12k into what started as a $5k budget for the restoration of a '66 4A. 
Heres how it plays so far (in rough numbers).

Body/paint $5k
Frame Stripping/coating/suspension etc. $2k
Engine $2k (Thats Top to bottom, parts & labor. Hardened valves and seats,
Rebuilt carbs ...)
Wire Wheels $1k
Misc "parts" = $2k

I bet its another $8 before its done.

That adds up to $20k consistant with the previous message. 
Maybe the resulting car is worth $10 but I wouldnt sell it for $30. 
Thats not why we do it. Is it?
