Below are the costs of my build to date.  I have tried to keep an accurate record of everything I have purchased since the start of my build.  Unfortunately I seem to have ever so slightly gone over the £250 budget!!  Since this list was compiled I have added various other bits to the car including new steering wheel, gauges, speedo & rev counter, starter solenoid, header tank.
