"Build a kit or just don't build anything" IS advice - you just don't like it. That's fine, but when coming to public
forums for free information, you have to do your homework before posting in order to learn what and how to ask. People come on Honda forums and ask,
"Sup, guys. Hey, I want a turbo, which one should I get." He gives no information, so how can anyone give meaningful replies. Instead, the
ensuing fireworks are always fun to watch, and the poster invariably gets upset because he wasn't spoon-feed a solution by mind-reading
experts.
Asking for free information isn't free. You need to post ALL pertinant information you bring to the table. budget, timeframe, skillset, and ask
in a polite and courtious manner. Otherwise you'll be ignored, made fun of, or have your pee-pee slapped for being lazy and not reading before
posting.

Absolutely. There was another poster recently who was doing the same stuff, he has improved a bit recently though.
I look forward to reading Speedy's retort, which will probably be to explain to you just what forums are for 
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

Hi.
I will try to be constructive with my advice and hope you read this as such.
I think you have just answered your own question, "What's first?" quote: "no welding experiance but willing to
learn."
Since you want to keep costs down then maybe learning to weld would be a good first step.
While you are doing this use your time to plan the whole build.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Paul G
