Just noticed someone suggest this in a thread and decided to post it in here. 99% of the cars in the project section are massive, very expensive, and very drawn out rebuild jobs. Why not have a sub-forum for those who are taking on projects, but on a limited budget? Projects which won't take too long to finish and won't cost the earth? :tumble:

Long drawn out projects that have lots of time and often a lot of money put into them already go in the 'Complete rebuilds' section - by the very nature of what they are they cost a lot and take time to do.

Anything less than a Complete rebuild is posted in the 'Mini engined section', -> as far as I can see that caters for everything already using two - simple to navigate sections.

IF there was a Section for 'High cost and low cost' projects how would you want me to moderate it?>

1. How would you classify a high cost project from a low budget project? Cost Threshold?
2. If a user has a 'low budget' project and then works out that the accumulative cost of parts is say, 3k... would you move the project?
3. What might seem a lot of money in a high cost project to one user - is not necessarily all that much to another user. So how would you cater for the users opinion of what's a lot of money, and what isn't?

Many projects start off low budget but end up costing a fortune ;D
