yeah u prob could but to finish this car the way i want i estimate around another 5k.
if money was the factor id have bought something quick along time ago rather than building this more expensive slower car

£5 to finish isnt a massive amount then spread over time. ive spent about £5000 on my engine alone and its not even a massive spec. ive still got more to spend if i want to get it how ive planned (another £3000 atleast).
at the end of a day, i look at is as any one can buy a fast car, but it takes someone special to build one

update
got my new tyres, pirelli p zeros 195/40/16 fitted and wheels fitted to car.
changed springs to the coilsprings 90mm rear springs altho it doesnt look that low (probably because theres no weight in the rear)
fitted the archs and rear bumper also
