A quick glance through the parts list:
Hood frame with catches, front rest and windscreen wing nuts £1043
Set of sidescreen frames £385
Cover hood and sidescreens £1250?
Headlamps £550
Headlamp support brackets £28
Seats, covered £500 (if you can get them made)
Door-shut top castings £80
Rear lights £104
Rear number plate support bar, two number plates with rear-light brackets £80
Door-top trim £45
Rear dampers complete £100
Front damper complete £100
Trim inside doors, floor, etc £200???
Stock of BSF nuts, bolts and assorted other fastenings £200
So £5000 to replace what's not there + a host of minor items that would total an extra easy £500 (I know, I've just had to buy a selection) + engine, gearbox, back axle and chassis work + manual work, plenty of it. Or, tip it to a pro and it should work out at around £25,000 ready to roll?
Any better estimates? Corrections? updates?
