What would be good if we published a basic roller price from all the current suppliers, I bet there would be a few suprises....

Give me a couple of weeks and I will have some indicative numbers for 3 or 4 suppliers.

I am looking to find out cost of chassis and body. Then the kit to complete the car ready for motor/gearbox. The variability in the prices is unlike pace which supply everything you have options of new versus secondhand parts from donor car, wreckers etc. then you need to factor in refurbishing the secondhand part if that's the path taken, how much In house fabrication is doable will vary from owner to owner. Cockpit fitout will also have some variability as it's possible to do it all your self or pay some one to do bits or the whole lot etc etc.

Nevertheless I want to understand what you get for what you pay for and then assess how well that is presented, no point saving a couple of grand only to use up what you save in chasing bits all over the place or trying to reengineer something because the part is unavailable or incorrectly specified. How good is the supplied manual, what access to support(talk is cheap, customer feedback invaluable) is there etc ect

Try looking for a half finished project. It has saved me heaps of money. I have a CR and love it so far. Plenty of leg room. Laid up fiberglass. Very solid. JD
