Lowest Cost Build ?

[jaykay]

I am looking for a budget car that will be great fun to drive. I am setting a target of £2500 ready for iva. I am surprised at some of the costs quoted, but guess they are really sweet pieces of kit. I will have a go at anything, so should keep the costs to a minimum.

Where do the largest costs sit if you have spent £4-£5k ?

I will be using the doner for as much as possible to keep costs down. The doner will either be the sierra or mx5. I like the idea of the Mazda if I can find a cheap enough example.

I'm looking forward to the show at Newark, as I havent really seen one in the flesh.
