Depending on the age of the car and the availability you could buy a wrecked one with a decent history, store it and cannibalize parts from it over the course of time. Alternatively you could check parts from the 'bay and youtube the "how to" videos (learnt to carve a turkey in about 4 minutes - v. handy!!).
Just do it methodically and you'll be fine - you're on a bicycle forum so you must be relatively mechanically-minded?!
