I have absolutely no idea what mine has cost so far (I'm too scared to look) and I have no idea what it will eventually cost.

I have never set a budget, or a finish date, because I would only destroy both

I'll probably reckon it up when I finish, but I have been buying parts as I need them, rather than having a single donor, so will work out a bit more.

Chuck it out and get the Haynes Roadster manual instead

The Haynes uses a Sierra as the main donor, rather than a (getting rarer) MK2 escort.

It has Independent Rear Suspension.

And do be expecting to build it for £250 either even if you go the Ron Champion route.
