That’s the way I do things I'm a budget builder waiting for the right thing at the right price so ebay and second-hand parts are what my car is made off (sound horrible) and I'm very selective of what I buy.
Take my RS4 body, I bought a RS4 shell for £2150/$4300 and sold around £1500/$3000 worth of parts from the shell and I even sold the cut up shell for £150/$300 so bargains can be found if you look around.
