how to save money building your car

buy one that is done or done enough to save you most of the work.

I've built one from scratch and bought one that was nice and made it mine.

huge difference in cost and I do most of the work myself. My car would cost 40k or more to build from scratch. I paid 16k for it and put maybe 10 in it.

You can cut corners, make sacrifices, do more work yourself.
