By the time you've paid for your steel, welder, gas, welding wire, build table, grinding discs, etc etc, there's really not that much in it.

Good luck with the build. The expenses do at up. A couple of 100 a month over a couple of years. Always vary when people start on a shoestring, if you have a long term view you will get there.

I bought a donor from here. I have gone down the mx5 route so if you need a hand or want to see how I've done things let me know. I found a company in rowlands gill who dismantle and race mx5s

They have been invaluable during my build
