Ermmm,

I got mine off Ebay - search for tamiya they are best make and not too expensive.

Other sites: www.modelsport.co.uk , www.fusionhobbies.com, and goldstartstockists.co.uk

Or make me an offer on mine , mines electric though
built a month ago only used 3 times
Tamiya TB-02 electric car (top chassis 4WD)
Skyline bodyshell
Full Electrics , esc - motor - radio equipment.
Tyres have electric tape on at the moment for drifting but easily taken off.
All needs doing is tyres glued to the wheels.

Oh and 3 batteries 2 at 2100Mah one at 2000Mah, and fast charging battery charger.

But best part is making the car itself

I really want one, but haven't got a clue what is what, also want one that you have to build yourself and on all the sites it says they are assembled or virtually finished

This ones nice, its a fully built one though:
Calibra - http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=18779

Kit wise they really only seem to sell nitro ones in RTR form, and electric ones in kit forms, as its so much easier building electric cars.
