Better to buy a good donor car that is sound that has been looked after. When you can sell on so many parts you don't need, a really tidy £3k donor can end up costing less than £2k.

There are plenty of good examples out there for around £2 -3k. The base car is important with a rebody kit, why skimp on a really rough Z3 donor when you will be spending £8 - 12k to complete a build?
I agree with your reasoning, that is what I am doing. But there are a few who have bought cheap ones and done the fixes themselves.
