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.

Thats 34k, less 2k for engineering and rego, 32K That is pretty impressive given the CR Kit is 16k, i am thinking you spent a fair bit of time engineering solutions and maybe manufacturing in house. The others i have spoken to building CR kits whilst they love their cars, might not make the same choices if they had there time over again.
The CR kit will ultimately end up a great car, the guys prepared to do the big hours and have the engineering know how either individually or collectively (B-Club) can get it done, most end up spending a lot more than you have.

well done
cheers
