I was in a similar situation at the end of 2007 as the *relaxation* for my engine was to be scrapped on 31 December. Putting the car together was frustrating knowing I didn't have time to do it exactly the way I wanted. But I didn't spend anything on stuff that had to be redone. While it might seem like most of the build, I decided to redo the boot trim, the engine and the interior after rego. So on these I spent little. The boot was untrimmed for rego ($0), the engine was as purchased with
oil and plugs (both consumable) and the interior trimming was about $200 in materials. All in all the only waste was time.
Of course, the most frustrating of all is the fact that the *relaxation* was extended as of about 15 December. By which time I had already jumped through all the hoops apart from final inspection.
So doing it twice is definately a time impost but not necessarily financial. So long and the dollars are not spent in the wrong areas in the first place.
