VERY nice!
I know where you're coming from with the prices as i actually started out building a Countach clone before i switched to the Sammio, which is why i'm interested in what you're up to!
In my case after a year learning a load of good skills, including learning to Weld and even chopping and lengthening the MR2 donor (don't ask!), the financial realities you mention kicked in and i reckoned that it would cost me at least 17k to finish it, so i cut my losses and opted for the Sammio instead!
I always remember that due to the IVA test it meant that i would have to buy some original parts such as the electrically adjustable wing mirrors, and they were about £300 each!
Even though i scrapped mine, i do still have about a dozen boxes of Countach parts in my attic, just in case.......
