So what did all this cost to do then?

Well, the lift was £1000. I counted all other tool costs as part of the job but I excluded this one from the list as it will get a lot of use for the other cars I look after. Doesn't have to be logical ;-)

As you can see in the table above, I broke this down into categories.  Obviously I spent quite a lot on parts but it's interesting to see that I spent £750 on "surface finishes" - most of which was powder coating (those bits done externally, not the small bits done by me), although some would have been paint for the exhaust manifolds and the oil tank. And £450 on tools - £250 of which was the ten ton press.
