Yes, I agrree I have a spread sheet I really do not want to count the cost. This built and the Ron Champion built was never going to be a budget especially with the state of econemy in the last few years.

At the end of the day you really can not price a hobby, otherwise you can not enjoy it!!!!!!!!!

But if you want a tyre smoking track day car that looks the biz inside and out god only knows the true cost. My mate built a v8 westfield for under 4k and the other day i saw a v8 dax rush that had cost the bloke about 30k. Much the same thing on the road but one was built by my tightwad mate and the other bloke must have been an oil tycoon.

just my 2pc
