I guess you could try going to junkyards across the nation and try to find bits and parts here and there. Repaint the body the color of your choice and you've got a frankenstein S2000. If you have that kind of skill, in assembling cars, why don't you pursue a career in that field? You might get a FULLY assembled unit a lot quicker.

Since these cars are built to go fast, there should be mucho savaged parts from wracked s2ks. Hava you looked on Ebay recently?

This post reminds me of when I was a kid and I found an old carburetor in a shallow creek. I took it home, took it apart and cleaned it in a gasoline bath like I'd seen my dad do many times. I then sat back, dreaming of what kind of engine and car I'd build around that old carburetor. Never happened.

In high school, my friends father sold us a Model A Ford engine for $20 that he had been using as a powerplant to blow insulation in his roofing business. Then we spent a bunch of money rebuilding it and hopping it up with hot rod parts. After we finished the engine we of course had to have a car. Finally found a Model A roadster that a farmer wanted $75 for. We told him we'd give him $50 and he could keep the engine. He agreed and so we pulled the engine on the spot and trucked the car home. Then of couse we had to lower the body, replace the mechanical brakes with hydraulic, add bigger tires and wheels, etc. That $20 engine ended up being a $1200 total investment which was a LOT on money to 2 teenagers in 1951 that made $0.75/hr on summer jobs. Oh, and BTY the engine would blow up every 300-500 miles as Model A engines used a "splash" lubrication system (no oil pump) and they couldn't take the added stress from the hop up parts.
