The things that catch you out are the parts that you forget about untill you need them, then you go on ebay and pay the postage on top. The other side of it is you start looking for standard parts such brake calipers, then find for an extra ££ you could save your self some time and have shiney new recons which leads you to looking at willwoods, brembo's, green stuff and grooved disks. Me I'm hoping not to spend much more than £1500.
Spent so far with no doner to get a rolling chassis
gearbox t9 £50
diff shafts hubs £50
steering column £40
rack £23
steering joint £12
ball joints £45

Hopefully it will come in near £1500 but might have more spent on it post IVA if I can get away with it.
