jesus, have you seen the price of the cars for sale on the vw cup site???

 

£19k for basically a Mk4 golf 4motion with lsd/6spd/paddleclutch/brembos and seam welding and a roll cage. maybe i'm being naive but i cant believe you couldn't recreate something with that spec for much less, or at worst the same cost. and usually you'd expect a discount on the cost to build, not a premium?? :shrug:
