To give this perspective it has cost us £6k to build an s50 powered compact and prep it for track. Not sure if that includes the m3 cab donor or not.

Its finished, beauty of a lot of things trade price.
Pair of Lemforder engine mounts for £50 and Gaz Golds for £800 winkeye

Edit - Correction, we already had quite a few bits, the seats and belts, e30 rear shafts etc. and no cage yet.
The car is about as finished as they ever get, needs paint, more lightness and some kind of aero. If there ever was a car that needs aero an S50 compact is it. That thing gets real twitchy over 130...
