While it seems you have "all the parts", ready to go, be careful.
Make a list:
Include on it things like
A racing radiator, an oil system/cooler/accusump.
The engine build.
The dyno time tweaking the tuning, the intake the exhaust, etc.
The cage, the seat, the safety stuff. Fire bottle.
SetS of wheels.
Tires.
Super jammy shocks.
Coilovers and race springs.
Strut tower plates, or similar.
Custom machined suspension bushings.
Super custom (or off the shelf) sway bar and other suspension bits.
Custom exhaust header and system.
Replacements for your hubs, bearings, brakes, pads, fluid, lines (Stainless steel at the wheels)
A different final drive and some form of ltd slip.
That's just off the top of my head. Now, you may say, "Well, I don't plan on being competitive first season so I don't need a built engine" (or similar). OK, fine, but, if you are competitive (uh, you want to race, so I'd assume you're competitive,
), you will be going through the car adding the stuff I listed.
In the end, you WILL spend more for the same thing. Now, you might spread it out over two years, but, $20K is still more than $11K, no matter when and how long it takes to get there.
Some say" "I want to build so I know the car". Buy, then spend a weekend taking stuff apart and cleaning it, then putting it back together, you'll know it well.
