The cost so far

The major costs so far have been the initial car cost and the tools.

CAR

Omega 1200kg trolley Jack
Omega car stands
Force 1/2" Torque wrench
Pin punch set
Engine crane 1t
Wire strippers
Heat gun
Cordless Torque wrench
Force metric Torque sockets
Car trolley
Force imperial torque sockets
Lincoln 180C Mig welder
Force 1/2" socket set
Force 1/2" breaker bar
Misc including tarps, welding bits and bobs, small tools

Plus a few early items for the car,
Lico seats x 2 (special)
Laser 3 rally computer

So total cost including a few items not mentioned above a little over $9000

Once the car has been welded up, then the real cost will start to come in with a roll cage, painting and then fitting it out. The time line is to get the car finished by around this time next year, so I'm in no rush. But saying that there is a lot to do and a year isn't that much time.
