Build, buy or rebuild

The link above is a great option.

If I didn't have one I would get this, the opportunity to personalize off a great existing base and for the right money should be a no brainier decision.

For what's its worth, I bought mine and thought that I would be happy. In the three years of owning, not a week has gone past that I have not changed, polished, re-done, etc something to make it suit me..... And I never feel that I am fixing some ones work.... I am just personalising to suit me.

As I am sure that many owners experience.... You get stopped at servos, car parks, the driveway and so on by people wanting to know more. Rarely I get asked if I built it and when I do, I have no ego or pride issues to say no I didn't, nor has there been any adverse comments from any interested party about not building myself.

Looking back..... Would I buy first rather than build...... Yes. Get in it, drive it, get to know the pitfalls of ownership, learn to drive them respectfully...... I am sure many have been 'bitten' before, but most of all..... Have fun.

If these cars make you giddy when you see one.... You have dreams about them.... You have breakfast in the garage just looking at it ... Then your on the right track. If you just think it would be cool to have...... Leave it as a pipe dream with a good memory.
