I think the FFR's are good cars and come out as good as the builder. I've seen many that are top notch and I've seen some that, ahem, need lots of attention. However there are a few facts that I'd like to point out:

1) The donor concept is misleading. When all is said and done you spend as much as any other builder; sometimes with more headaches.

2) The basic cost is not much less than several other brands.

3) The body is a mess and takes 60-100 hours to prep for painting which, if you are not doing it yourself, adds significant cost to the build.
