Costs and Budget
This is an indication of the sort of costs you need to look out for if you build a car!
Comments I have received on the budget so far - include: To watch out that the registration Authorities in Australia will require the initial registration to have retractable seat belts - and not the more secure and safer 4/5 point harness. If this is the case I am down the tubes a further $400 or so.
