I can't even begin to tell you how many people I know who were in school, trying to build their DSM and had to simply give up because of the cost/time consumption. It's not cheap by any means, which can turn out to be near impossible when you're in school and can't have a decent job or hours. Not to mention it's always a good idea to have a beater when building any car for the mere fact that there's a good chance the car isn't going to be running somedays. If you're just throwing on a a couple bolt-ons, fine, but I'm guessing the modding bug will bite you and you'll find yourself in a rut before you know it like so many people (even on here) can attest to.
