With respect to affordability - we (my wife & I) built our car at a time in life when cash was VERY short - it took 7 years to build - mostly because it took that long to scrape together the cash to buy what was needed - our kit was Jaguar suspension based so bought an un-roadworthy Jag, stripped out what I needed except for suspension - sold it to the Jag club for spares at almost what we paid for it if they stripped out the suspension for me so suspension cost nothing except for bushes and bearings. Wife assembled the motor for me.

The whole thing was great for our marriage and every hour worked on it was fun and every mile driven is pure pleasure.

To my mind the most important thing is that your family be behind you if cash is short.
