I was always told .....

Don't build a car you can buy!

If you factor up the suspension changes, the brakes, the looms...etc... It'd be far cheaper to sell that and buy a T in the first place.

Also there's an issue insuring a up spec'd car engine wise. Often easier and cheaper to insure the genuine article rather than a home build.

It'll also be worth less than the genuine article too when you come to sell it on. People always assume that corners might have been cut somewhere and would rather the real McCoy.
have you ever heard the term built not bought  :grin: you appreciate it more  :laugh:

I'm all for building not buying but I think it's more sensible to build something that you just can't go out and buy!
