Simmer , If your any good at DIY and are just looking for something for pottering around in on nice days you could do worse than look at the Evansair website , I’m building a VP-1 at present , all the materials are relatively easy to find , you can buy all the materials as and when time and money allow and you can do it all in a double garage , VW 1824cc power means that engine parts are easy to find . The plans and builders handbook are available for an $55 International Money Order from Bud Evans and the Yahoo VP-1 Builders Group is very useful too.
