I honestly don't know what to vote for here - for me the choices have gaps. For example when I strip an engine I take the opportunity to replace all seals, gaskets, and bearings, all of which I do myself even on an engine I haven't worked on before (eg. 999 I'm currently into). Other work I cannot do like lightening and balancing a crank so that ships out. Even though I do most of the work myself it's never cheap because I build my projects to the way I want not to a cost figure. If it is going to cost more, it takes longer as finances are not unlimited they have to stretch over longer timeframes but I don't artifically set a cost that will then constrain my vision, it's the time prt of the equation that gets stretched. The 999 project will work out for about £10k with loads of non OEM parts and my intention is to refine over the coming years a little bit at a time to lighten and lighten the whole bike. Maybe all of my projects remain unfinished as a result

You sound like an option 2 to me - can consider your time as having value also.

Cost no limit - all new parts etc?

As much as it has to but no more?

Cheap as possible?
