I have A tight budget but still want a nice car . Can anyone tell me there budgets and how much it cost .

Cheers

take a look at my poll on Anything Else section. If you look at the actual build costs compared to the expected costs, there is (I beleive) a pretty clear picture !

I reckon, you will do very well to build any sort of 7 car for less than 4k pounds.
Just my opinion though (mine cost nearer 6k)

my god,im building a locost luego and ive spent about £7,500 so far and still going.shhhhhh dont tell the wife :0

That seems alot what has cost you the most

good job the wife doesnt know as you would need a new set of balls

this is where all the cash has gone

boo hooo

Looks GREAT Billy how much has the engine cost and how much BHP have you got

thanks for that, im very pleased with it but ive tried not to build it to a strict budget. i had brought a pinto and fitted it in her first, but i saw a w***f***d with this motor in it and thought THATS IT i want that engine. i payed about £500 for the engine,then new carbs were £400, then manifold was £100. i then had the ally sump modified with a gull wing for it £40. i then used standard exhaust manifold and hacked and slasshed it about. it was more time getting it to run messing about in breakers yards for the right dizzy and leads etc. oh and i lightened the fly wheel while i was at it.phew making me sweat thinking about it.......but hey.....its all worth it m8.cheers

Billy,

Got any tips on the leads I need?! I've found a dizzy and have some of the little ignitino modules, but don't have the wiring for inbetween. If you see/have any spare bits I'll happily have them off you..

Ned.

hi ned, we had to go to motor factor and find some nice long leads to fit the thing, cant remember now what there from but ill speak to me m8 who helps me, he might remember what there from..cheers

Put some more air in the front tyres. If I remember, it's to the bottom of the illuminated area as well.
