Andy,

Good luck with the project. As I'm sure you can see, your amongst fellow addicts here. Why don't you keep a spread sheet on the costs. You'll be amazed how it all mounts up

Probably best if I dont keep a record. It doesnt seem so bad when you buy lots of things on separate occaisions, you can kid yourself
its costing less than it really is!

Or kid the wife!!

mmm, DO NOT keep a spreadsheet - you'll only worry yourself, BUT DO keep all of the bills tucked away so you can frighten yourself when it's all done

Aluminium is a b#gger to clean once oxidization starts, I stripped my casing and bead blasted it, coat of spray paint and trimmed the gasket flanges with a Stanley blade while the paint was still soft.
