What parts are you looking for? Maybe I'm spoiled by having access to lathe/mill/welder, but for the most part I'm going to be making all of the parts. Only things I'll buy are the steering wheel mount, air bags, engine/transmission, wheels, etc. $400 for the stabilizer bar when the steel only cost $25 is nuts.
I'm ecomodding my F250 PS diesel truck... just picked up a VW pickup with 1.6l diesel engine for when I don't need to haul tons of material. I took dimensions of the engine, and I think I can cram it into the XR3. Since I picked up a donor car for parts, I have a spare engine. I'll have to see how it works.
