When I bought my kit, the sale price was $12k (plus GST that Ian forgot to include all through the quote process)
I also got lucky on freight, the car was packed on a single pallet, and Northline only billed me for 1 pallet ($120) to freight from Sydney to Alice Springs)
Engineer was happy to bill me an hourly rate of $100 per hour, he billed me for 10 hours.
Plus I bought his plane ticket from Darwin to Alice Springs.

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
