All the engineering companies I try for an offcut of 5mm plate want to charge for the entire sheet when all I am after is half a square metre
Buy some steel off ebay and give them the materials then you only need to pay for labour. My engine mounts were made with 5mm steel off ebay.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.
