Default Blobeye build?

Hi, I am 15 years old and just graduated and I was wondering if I could find a wrecked Blobeye and rebuild it cheaper than buying one? Ive loved these cars since I was 9 and would love to have one... I have a fair amount of background knowlegde on mechanical work and my father is a 25+ year mechanic. Thank you.

Define "wrecked" and "rebuild"?

Unfortunately some of these cars, particularly the sti models, are worth more in parts, so damaged ones are usually broken for spares.
That's not to say there aren't good value ones out there.
This one over on pistonheads.com has potential, depending on rust...

I think that "Alabama" may be main stumbling block
