After building a FFR with a donor car, I probably wouldn't do it again that way. Although I actually made money parting out the donor, the parts I did use I either rebuilt, ended up replacing, or just chose to upgrade. If you are trying to stick with a firm budget, it still may be the way to go, but these end up being like house projects-they always cost more and take more time than planned.

Another aspect of the donor is space- where do you keep it when disassembling and what do you do when your done with the carcass.
