Finally know exactly what your project has cost — and prove it when it's time to sell.
Sound familiar?
You love the car. You just have no idea what it's cost you.
Let's be honest — they're called money pits for a reason. The trouble isn't spending it on your project car. It's that nobody can ever say where it went.
The shoebox
Receipts stuffed in the glovebox, a drawer, three different email inboxes. Half of them faded to nothing.
"How much, though?"
The one question every owner dreads and none can answer. Parts, labour, that gearbox rebuild you'd rather forget.
Gone at sale
Years of work and receipts, and when the car moves on the whole history vanishes with a handshake.
A restoration diary that adds up
Every year of the build, every pound, in one place.
This is what a classic car restoration looks like when nothing slips through the cracks — a running build history you can hand to the next owner.

What Project Money Pit does for you
Track every cost
Parts, labour, MOT, insurance — every cost in your restoration project logged as you go, with a running total per car. Finally know exactly what she's owed you.
Log jobs and to-dos
A proper restoration log, not a shoebox. Tick off what's done, keep sight of what's next — from a full engine rebuild to that one stubborn oil leak, nothing slips.
Build the history
Every photo, receipt and milestone becomes a build history and maintenance history you'll never lose — the documented story of your vehicle restoration, kept for good.
Worth more with the receipts
A documented history sells the car.
Ask any buyer at any auction: the folder of receipts and photos is worth real money. A car with complete, itemised classic car records — every job, every part, every pound — is the one that gets the strong bid.
Money Pit turns everything you log into exactly that record. When the day comes to sell, the whole story is ready to hand over.
“No history, no sale — or at least, not for the money it's worth.”
The difference between a hopeful ad and a documented, provenance-backed classic.
- Full cost breakdown, itemised and dated
- Photos of the work as it happened
- Every job and milestone, in order
Your garage
One home for every car you own.
Keep them side by side — the daily driver, the project, the one you'll never sell. Each with its own costs, jobs and story.

Loved by enthusiasts
Built by project car owners, for project car owners.
“I finally have a proper restoration log instead of a carrier bag of receipts. I can tell you to the penny what my Spitfire has cost — and I dread to think, honestly.”
“When I sold my last project car the documented build history added a good grand to the price. Buyers trust classic car records they can actually see.”
“The best restoration tracker I've tried. Every receipt, job and photo from my classic car restoration in one place, on the phone in the garage.”
