For years both me and my brother have wondered over these machines. Right now I am seriously considering starting a project, that will be a long one, but none the less the road to owning a dream car. The main question is, in the long run what is the cheapest option, don't confuse me for someone with masses of disposable income.

Is it cheaper to save the money you'd budget for a build per month and buy a pre owned car, or self build?

It would be my first ever build, but one I'm sure I'd never regret!

Thanks guys. I'm finding it hard to find builder diaries that disclose how much they've paid for their build, which I imagine if you're trying to keep the woman in doors happy, is a good move haha.

It's a lot of car for the money, but I'm reluctant to take something on, even if it were to be planned over a few years. May be my eyes are too big for my wallet, better pop down to the post office and grab a euromillions ticket.
