On a purely dollar aspect, I spent about the same as PACE starter kit plus roller.
And that got me a complete car past by engineer, stamp duty paid and 12 months full rego.
Time is a hard one to figure out, as I did bits, then did it a different way, then a lot of time was also spent sitting on a chair with beer in hand and a goofy grin.
If I stripped my car down now (not dismantling engine, box and diff), I believe I could reassemble the car inside 100 hours.
But first time doing it you spend many many more.
