Start to finish by dollar amount, my Ranger.
I started in 2008-ish with a stock Ranger, bought a trans/transfer case, bought an engine, bought several sets of axles, bought another engine, bought a bunch of other parts, bought a whole other truck, made both trucks into one truck, etc.
My BII is probably my lowest cost project vehicle. I got an engine for free because there was no core, traded that to a guy I worked with for a transmission, bought a transfer case for $50, rebuild said trans for about $300 in parts, got the engine for it with that second Ranger.
By percentage it may be my Explorer. I bought it for $1529, put $800 of tires on it within a month, $250 in brakes, $75 axle shaft, $3000 transmission and $250 rear diff.
