The Budget |
The budget at this point is really more of a guideline. Things started out pretty good with the donor car almost paying for itself in parts sales. At the end I spent more on chrome, paint and carpet than I had planned. Since completing the car I have also had the seats recovered and that cost was not included. | |||
