I'm nowhere near that even with the 24V unit...

The cost of the project includes buying the car plus brand new spax adjustable suspension, stainless exhaust, samco hoses, rebuilt gbox, all the susupension has been rebushed front and rear, new clutch, brakes, leather interior, I have forgotten more of the bits that I have bought new and replaced. The purchase of the body kit, a couple of 2nd hand panels with some repairs and the rest were brand new panels. I then wanted the panels fitted and painted! The cost of the kit, fitting and painting came/coming to about £8,000. Then there was £1500 on wheels and tyres which will hopefully fill the arches adequately. That means I spent £8,000 on the mechanicals and parts, £20000 in all.
It all depends what you started with and how much of it was usuable on the car.
I do laugh to myself , cry on occassion it started out as a £2,000 car plus a £1,000 to get it running
Having spent all this money with the the right people to do the job I am hoping for a stunning car. It easily adds up trust me
Si21and now I am paying for it

trust me and it still not finished yet
