Talking costs out of the window

I dont think you could ever be accurate about the true costs of a build. There are to many things on the long road to a build that just dont get costed in. If you were lucky with your donor and didnt need to overhaul every part, the wheels and tyres were usable , then fitted everything as it came off the donor without painting and cleaning up stuff i reckon you could do a budget build. 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
