Thanks for your comments, It's so good to get the car to this point. The question is what did it cost? I purchased a written off VU SS ute. A UC Hatchback and a LH sedan donor car. Stripped them down and kept what I needed and sold off the rest. Then as I needed parts I made mad love to ebay and Rare Spares. The exhaust and sump plate and gear box cross member mods $5000.00, Interior $7000.00, Steering and engine bay easy 10K. The paint job was a token of the cost and my hours I can't imagine. I'm in there for about 65K (the wife thinks 30K). Numbers aren't the point, this is my car and I'm keeping it.

And if you took your labour into account you could easily double that figure and yet there are people spending 30k on rusted out rubbish and think they are going to get them back on the road.
