if it helps i'm a cec and so far i'm at £5300 i expect to finish off at 5800-6000

Mine will be scratch built with lightweight brakes hubs etc, coming in @ £3k.

Engine £550
Brakes £350
Hubs £100
Metal £250
Seats £200
Wheels £300
Donor £100

I,m not sure where the rest goes but it does !

Don't forget the cost of a divorce...... Only joking but expect the SWMBO to lose interest shortly if you follow this route.

MNR Vortx RT+ with pretty much everything needed to get it to SVA state and I'm at about £8.5k

4-4.5k I reckon mine will cost, bought a part built Indy kit off ebay though and got back some cash selling zetec and associated gubbins, only paid 970 for rolling chassis, and current total is 1190.

Scratch built mine, total cost to SVA was £3600. Value of the fun I had building it, priceless. Have fun. Regards Ray.

Pinto powered Indy - I gave up counting the cost accurately at around £3.5k, but I reckon about £5k all in not including SVA/ registration fees, tax and insurance (when I get there).

Has kept me occupied and out of the pub for a good while though

Well there isnt much price difference between bike and car engined!!

Mine is in at 14k at the moment and rising for a vortx rt plus

you could have a BEC vortx rt plus on the road for less than 9k i would say!?!!

depends what the budget will stretch to
