Use Product as Group. Options as Products withing the group. Simple as that. :)

Because there is simply ne easy way to do this i think the best way to do so is :

->Copy the Cart system and rename it to Build

->Remove the Options from the getProduct() function

->rewrite the total calcultion to calculate every total of a group of products as a single product

->in the admin add another order page that handle the products groups

->in the add to cart function in common.js add a function that sends the products as a string of joined IDs

->add to the cart common/cart.tpl the needed variable to display the groups of products as a single products and the price of them and rewrite the removeCart() function;

This isn't really something simple to achieve, since OpenCart is designed as a shopping cart for single item products. Your best solution would be to use options instead for a single product, and perhaps change it so that they display in a better fashion on your product page
