You can't translate the way you operate on a hobbyist basis to the way a real business has to operate. Relying on other assets (such as raiding profits from other segments of the business or other mis-management techniques) is the road to failure of either the specific effort or the entire business.
If you were to do all the necessary work yourself - not just for one car ignoring mandated regulations but for a whole car model certified for country-wide sale - by the time you added up all of your hours and the cost of all the little bits that have not been itemized yet . . . for the price you want to see, minimum wage for your time spent would start to look like middle-income.
