Approx £5,000 on the road. That is with IVA Insurance and tax.
Excludes all the extra tools and welding gasses etc.
Adrian
Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

Started adding mine up and got to about 6k with a bit of work/IVA/insurance/registration etc still to go. So I stopped and went for a pint to ease
the depression..............

the annoying thing to me looking through these receipts is essentially the car was built for not much over half the final cost.obviously there's
the main outlay for the chassis suspension wheels brakes seamles tube,rear tub etc i bought new,and dont mind paying for,cause the car's just
how i wanted it.but then things like the hoses for the turbo system,steering wheel lights clips and all the other finishing bits etc, which i shopped
round for the cheapest i was happy to use, adds up to nearly as much!and i know if it wasn't for the sva i'd have been happy with other
ways of doing things!that said i didn't pay for anyone elses services or even have to buy any bolts rivets aluminium or general consumables so
cheers to anyone who's knowingly helped out!

Nah, she thinks it was £250! That 1800 didn't include sva, ins or tax though, have spent about £300 since on upgrades and buying wrong stuff!

You cant use his car as a comparison, look at his engine!!
I reckon mines about 4k all in but never added it up. i had a spread sheet that auto added it up when i started but got scared at howw high it went
but when u consider how much i bought and sold and used something different i dont think it is that bad.

Mine cost about £5.5k on the road. The new engine is costing around £2.5k on top of that.
Its had a few other small things added over the past couple of years, probably about £750s worth.

At the bottom of my spreadsheet of costs I divide the total by the number of months I have been workig on the project. Feels much better if you
compare that number to what some people spend on golf/pubs/running a race kart etc etc.

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

about £9.5K OTR including SVA and registration.
Mrs was the one with the spreadsheet. and I think she added in some of the tool bought for the job. Could have done it cheaper but wanted somenice
bits on it.
No paid for outside service just mates help and trimmed it all ourselves.
Will probably be buying full weather gear for it rather than trying to make it but in the process of making a surrey top
