It is perfectly feasable to cut the steel for the chassis yourself, the old adage "measure twice cut once" was written by someone building a Locost.
Personally I used an Escort rack as it fits the front frame perfectly avoiding issues with bump-steer, the Mazda unit is too wide so needs a section cut out of the actual cylinder which is just too big a risk IMHO.
I was originally going to use the MX5 pedal box but am having second thoughts due to the available space so will most likely go with the book offering.
The other main things I can think of are that you can't get off the donor are the shocks.
