Since buying the M5, (Which is Great)......I'm seriously thinking about building an "Old Skool" track day car/occassional road use car.

Knowing the prices it costs to build a good "Old Skool" car, I'm trying to decide if I should build....or buy one already done.

I recently came across this car advertised for sale..... The guy is asking around the 12k mark....... Bearing in mind it's spec, could I build one for that money.......Or should I buy one already done. (I don't weld, so any welding fabrication I would have to pay for......the rest I could do myself.

Haven't seen this car in the skin yet, so I'm having to assume the shell is reasonable.
