Or... Buy a knackered TVR Chimeara, with rotten chassis and bad bodywork for around £3500 and there is pretty much everything you need, except ALOT of time and patience! The Chim body you can lift straight off the chassis, like they did in topgear.
Biggest issue would be space for the prop shaft. But not much stopping you from welding the cleaned up Chimaera chassis into the zed floor (strength and fair base) then carving the zeds floor to suit.
Electrics are a breeze (and probably greatly improved over standard TVR electrics!)
Sounds fun.. I wanna go :-)
