Hey, I am also looking to build an I3, just down in Wellington. :) At the moment I am trying to decide whether to go with a kit or source all the parts myself and build it over the Christmas break. I have started a thread to try work out where to get everything. I know clogs51 bought a kit (see his thread here : mendel 90 thread ), and he ran into a few problems. So its a risk if you try order a kit- you may find yourself replacing parts. Hence why I am more tempted to source the parts myself.
In the end it depends whether you want the ease of a kit build or a bit more security in the knowledge of what you get yourself, that you are happy with the quality of the build. And how comfortable you are in doing the dirty work yourself.(:D
