Did anyone say it would?

I wasnt saying thats what i thought the trade value cost of the parts was.

Martins labour costs him 40 quid an hour that he could be earnign doing the same work to other peoples cars.

How many hours do you reckon he has put in so far that he would have to take off from earning on customers cars to build another one for himself?
