Neil, Not trying to be cute here, but whatever budget you come up with is wrong. The only way you can know your costs up front is to buy a completed car that someone has lost interest in or other and even that has it's hidden costs. Based on what I have learned from many others and my own experience it will be approx...

Inexpensive FFR = 26-30
New parts FFR = 32-35
BDR (rolling chassis) = 38-42
SPF (rolling chassis) = 50-54

There are many other kits, but these are the ones I know something about. Also, build your own engine for almost half the cost of buying one.

This time of year would be a great time to buy so check out the forums.
