It can but you have to do everything!
The best way is to buy a locost chassis, and then buy a 2ltr sierra with the tpe 9 box.
Transfer all the running gear etc etc into the chassis, buy some wheels and decent suspension, and buy the body kit from locost, stuart taylor, whatever one you fancy.
I say realistically you can build a pinto engine with a good spec car for 2-4k depending!
Anyless and you will be making panels, welding the chassis, and cutting corners

the ron champion book is very much u make this and u make that etc etc!

Just buy a rolling chassis from someone like stuart taylor - my dads

and then buy a sierra as the donor car and change all the bits over!
You can build a pinto engine kit car for 3k on a budget,
dads has a 3k engine, plus diff, seats, dash, it all adds upto about 13k!

The new one costing 25k!!!
