Factory five has a good "kit" and a great support community. It is one of the cheaper entry kits IF that is how you build it. It will run about $14k after shipping and taxes. Go to their website and see what the base kit includes.
Realistically, if you aren't worried about appearance or performance, you could probably have a running and road legal ffr mk4 for the $25-30k mark. The quality in that price depends on your skill, as that price is with you doing everything, body work, paint, engine, suspension, etc. Everything.
You might save a couple thousand by picking up someone else's project as well.
In the end, you might just be better off buying someone's headache and spend quite a bit less time figuring out any issues. Who knows what you end up with it.
But ultimately, $18k just isn't that realistic of a number. It's not that it can't be done (good deals can be had), it's just not realistic.
I don't know anything about the quality of this car, but it would put you much farther ahead than most anything you could build for $18k...
