yeah basic rules are low money limit to be spent on the car, total cost of everything. but anything you sell off the car (interior parts etc) can be deducted from what you spend to give you more money to use. any safety items are not included in the cost of the car, as a cage, harness, and other safety features are mandatory and obviously you cant build/buy all the needed safety stuff with the budget and thats not one thing to skimp on either.
