Thus far I'm about $550 in on various items added to the bike, double what I paid for the bike. I'm not counting stuff like the rack, bags or lights that I already owned. I had a lot of this stuff on hand already for various ongoing projects. The wheels, stem, cassette, and drivetrain seat and seat post were the things I purchased specifically for this project.
I plan to upgrade the cranks and BB as well as the front fork. I will probably also upgrade to a touring seat made for women by Terry. I obviously need new bar tape.

I bought a 3rd pair of Antora 2s. They fit me so well and feel really good.
