Default To self-build or to kit...?

Hi guys, just pondering the choice between going for a self-build or buying a kit....
I'm definitely in the mind of a 7-style car, for it suits both budget and style I'm after.

I've got the good old book by Mr Gibbs, and have been looking at the more reasonably priced (read cheap budget!) kits too, namely the GBS Zero (formerly RobinHood http://www.robinhoodsportscars.co.uk/Custom/index.cfm) and a few others.

Does anyone have any experience with GBS? Thing is, with the book and a self-build, I'd know exactly what needs doing before getting started (i.e. all of it!) but with kits, I'm not entirely sure how much is pre done, and how much needs buying, fitting etc.

Also been looking at Saturn Sports Cars' offering, thinking of the complete package (http://www.saturnsportscars.co.uk/st...d&productId=58) and wondering the same things (how much is pre done, and how much needs buying, fitting etc.).

Any pointers, or am I just having a tired ramble? :P
