Lowest Cost Build ?

[shh120m]

ive spent so £2100 so far, Iv just got the expensive bits to buy now such as shocks, wheels prop etc. I reckon il get it on the road for just short of 4k. Over two years thats £38 a week. I could have spent more than that going to the pub! You can really spend as little as you want, its all about how long you want to take to build your car. Cheapest way is to buy a donor or find a project that someone is selling up part build.

When I started mine I thought I might do it under £3K. I'm pretty sure that by the time it's done it'll be closer to £4k and I haven't even bought any of the expensive stuff yet!

I would budget 5k, inc iva etc...

ive spent £1684 to get to get to where i am now thats sat on suspension too im aiming for less than £3k all in but who knows

Mine has cost me around £3,900.00 at the moment. Still have to do the IVA and a a few other bits to buy. I would have though £4,750 would be a correct figure for me. Could have done it MUCH cheaper if I'd used the donor engine, instead of another engine.

If you make everything. Wishbones chassis Ali panels etc you can do it for 3k. If your buying everything in then budget 4k.

i would say it would depend on your skills, tooling and time been the main factor
i have worked in the motor and engineering industry and i would say its saved me a fortune been able to rebuild my own engine weld my own chassis know where to sorce parts at a fair price etc

i never put a cost on my build as things and ideas can change as you go along
