Turnip, go buy a body and chassis kit, that means your initial cost is low, and then you can build it as you want (subject to regulations) and as funds allow.

I recently did that, got my kit from G Force in WA, and I am only starting the journey.

I did the same with my 7 m fishing boat, bought a hull, and slowly built it up to be an awesome boat with a 300hp motor, I knew very little about boats when I started !
