Project Hunk of Junk - Cost

[Dave Price]

When I bought the project I set a spreadsheet to monitor the cost of the project. Initial thoughts before the car arrive were that the grand project total would only be £500. Several months on and loads of parts bought (not to mention tools - tools don't count as I can use them for other purposes), The last update I did on the spreadsheet had a total around £450. I had been managing the budget by only buying parts that were less than £10 (except the engines). Having said that 10 items is still £100. I appear to have gone mad this month with the budget, recently having bought a pair of NOS heads for £50.99 and a NOS reground crankshaft for £23. I just hope I can keep the total rebuild under £1000. If I get chance this weekend I may update the spreadsheet.
