My expenditure so far ( finished car )
£2469 for the car £450 IVA test fee £109 insurance yet to spend £55 registration £118 for 6 months road tax total = £3201 on the road cost ( the on the road costs account for almost 25% of the total costs ) Its the little odds n sods that seem to rack up the costs...eg £30 for a center view mirror  ....when you compare that to £115ish for the steel to build the chassis it makes the intial outlay for the steel seem like a bargain , it hurt my wallet when buying the little so called "incidental little things" , but then again I,m a tight git  Bargains can be had if you have time/inclination to search & wait for them to come along , my exhaust silencer was £7.50, my RS turbo exhaust manifold was 99p ..... albeit not the latest all singing all dancing blingy bits , but bargains that still do the job  cheers andy

In my mind if you raise the money for the build by selling stuff you already own, then it doesn't count. Using this mind set my car has probably cost me £500 to date. I'm naming my car "The Womble" as most of it is made out of donor, previously thought of junk or all sorts I've had lying around for years, or cheap stuff.
I'm also not adding anything up, in fact I throw away or hide receipts. Ignorance is bliss!

Heh, I consider the money I've put into the car the money I've saved up! It would have gone anyway, but now it has been invested into making an object of tangible value!
