From personal experence of building, mine passed budget figure by a couple of thou, (I daren't tot it up really) but this was because of the 50 quids here and hundred quid there on all the recon bit's, nuts bolts wire and connectors, paint and sundries etc etc. But I have to say the bit that narked me most was paying over the top for "SVA compliant" parts, eg sva compliant bonnet catches, mirrors. I appreciate folks have to make a living, but some of the prices are outrageous, anyone else found this? And also a few years ago at the Donington show the manufacturer of my kit had a poster on their stand stating build this kit for £8,000, I had passed that without including the donor ar a paint job, and that was buying all the main bits from them.
