Thats how im taking my projects. No single items are very expecive, so i can afford all of them... eventually
haha too true John, we've already had a serious cost overrun, I think twice the original budget should cover it... it's the little things that you don't factor in... everytime I go down to the engineering shop to buy a couple of bolts, it usually costs around $100 or so by the time you factor in the grade of bolts, the head type, washers, locktite, some shiny new tool that they have on special etc...
in future, when I budget, if I can itemise it, the minimum price I'll allow per item will be $100... I think we've spent a few hundred dollars on hose clamps alone... gahh, I don't want to think about it...

Safest option is to have no budget

Howdy all,
Here's a quick update on project RX7.
The brakes and clutch are in and bled. The drivers side exhaust flange had to be modified to fit the clutch slave cylinder properly, no real hassle, just couldn't find a slave cylinder with the feed and bleed at the top so extended the header slightly to give enough clearance.
With a bit of luck the car should be in for an exhaust in the next week or so, then we need to fit new hand brake and throttle cables, fibreglass the dash, put all of the glass back in and we should be almost ready to go.
We're moving house in the a couple of weeks so most of the car jobs will be put on hold again. Mind you, the car stuff would be a lot easier to move if everything was back together... now I just need to convince my missus that this will some how make her job easier...

Nice work, it'll be great fun.
We could probably get the 7 on the road in the next few weeks, but the cert can't happen till we get all of the cage related requirements sorted (lots of hassles). It doesn't help either that the people we've got to see for that are on holiday till the 15th!
