[quote=400TT;1196068] Our kits can have a higher entry/starter cost, but have cheaper completion costs compared to many other kits.
QUOTE]
This is the same for all kits, a cheap start price does not always equate to a cheap completion price.
When i bought my CR, they were one of the more expensive basic kit starter costs (body and chaissis only not roller), but I honestly belivere the money was well worth it, as I reckon I saved a butt load of $$$$ and even more time and brain cells.
Mine complied and registered came in at $40k in 2010, but I did a ****e load (99%) of the car myself, it does not have shiney paint, it did not have new tyres (I bought second hand rims and tyres from fellow forum member), my engine was free (I had to rebuild) and the gearbox cost me a bottle of scotch (I felt like a TACO (Tight Arse Cobra Owner) So I bought him a second bottle)
Without these freebies, at the time would have added anoher $6k - $8k to final build price.
So as Craig says, dont think your gunna get out of it under $50k unless you have plenty of favours owed to you from people in the right places.
