Hi Andrew
Buying or building, Depends on where your interest lies,
Are you particular on what make?
Do you want to enjoy the car and driving it? or building, problem solving and having the satisfaction of doing it yourself?
If you go down the build path, here are just a few thoughts.

Support:
Make sure EVERYONE in your life 100% supports your hobby
Girlfriend, wife, kids, parents, family dog, friends etc. so many projects end up on gumtree because of family get sick and tired of the time and money spent on the hobby.
Make sure you have the time:
It takes time (years) to build on of these cars. It will ALWAYS take longer than what you are told, and if you are depending on outside business to do stuff for you, you will be waiting, waiting and waiting. Their view is, it’s a project car and it can wait.
Have a realistic budget:
Research what things actually cost, what is and what isn’t included in the kit, assumptions cost money. Do you have the tools and equipment necessary?
Again it ALWAYS cost more than what you get told.
Engineering cost, registration and stamp duty cost.

If that doesn’t put you off, you are ready to go.

Or

Find one you like, buy it , drive it …….

Cheers
Kent
