As a matter of interest, I'm keeping close tabs on my build costs for a Harrison. So far, my car is rolling with steering but not brake lines (well it will be rolling once i've machined the front hubs and rotors), it has headlights, a windscreen, wheels and tyres, fuel cap, pedals and some other bits and peices. So far I've spent $25,162 already, doing all the work myself - and I reckon that I've got a bargain on a lot of things so far.

I've got a motor, gearbox, wiring loom ect lined up for $6000 (L98 and manual box), and I'm budgeting $50k for the build doing things like paint and interior myself. I see myself coming in under $50k at the moment, but I've allowed a fudge factor there. You can keep the costs down by doing all the work yourself, but being as you have limited experience/tools you may have to budget outsourcing a lot of it, or risk having it sitting as a stalled project in your shed.
