Buy one already done for half the price you can build one for!

There is so much more involved than a motor and a body chop, check out a few comps at the level you want to compete at and ask around as to what they have spent?

Would you rather buy something and comp it for half the price or spend a year building it when all of your mates are out wheeling when your're at home bending tube? Spending all your money on a project?

Unless you have lots of free time and money or just lots of money, buy one!
