before it costs more than buying
A finished race car almost always costs less than the parts, labor and safety gear that went into it, so building makes the most sense when you want to know every bolt, already have the tools, or can do the cage and wiring yourself. If the gap above is small, a used Spec E46 is usually the better deal. See Spec E46 race cars for sale.
