Accepting the lack of immediate funds, it would be interesting to compare the cost of going the route of assembling as per Dave's post versus staying with a tired, complete, old box saloon and 'restoring'. I'd anticipate the parts cost for the latter would be less (buying as a complete car) but then one is stuck with the moral duty of not destroying something. There is also no real cost to registering a new project... other than emotional, and patience.
The budgets probably balance out in the end with the increased value of the 'tourer' on the logbook? I wonder if there is any difference in the learning process. I think I would have intuited more and better if I'd had an undisturbed complete wreck to make sense of, rather than piles of bits and a book or two.
