Default budget question

hey guys, gotta question for you all:

I've got limited space/time at the moment to do the full haynes roadster (build up the chassis etc.) but would it be worth buying a completed chassis, and all the suspension kit? The time taken to fit it all to a rolling chassis would make things a lot easier, plus it would keep the interested going.

Would it be massively more expensive to do it this way? I would still go with a sierra donor but would rather it spend less time on my drive as i strip everyting I need from it onto the roadster.

Is this achievable or being daft, thoughts?

Stripping a sierra can be done in a day, especially on the diddy little 4 pot rwd cars.
