    You can get an old school corolla or a Mk3. I saw an ad for a 91 gsx for 2000 obo. The motor and body is in good shape.

    Bah, 3000GTs weigh too much, plus its a Mitsu so you cant count on it cranking everyday.

    Buy that kids Impreza wagon with the WRX swap for $6500 in the FS section. Total sleeper and it leaves you 1500 for mods (accessport, bigger turbo, and intercooler, should be able to get all 3 for that much if you shop around). http://forums.importatlanta.com/showthread.php?t=83844
    02 WRX Sport Wagon

    your project car is going to be your daily driver? probably not much of a project then. Having your DD and PJ as the same car is a terrible idea. your limited on what you can do and since when does someone spend 5-6 grand on a project car? what happened to buying something that limps home then throwing in a new motor and anything else you need to do.

    I'd say get a starion, 2.6ltr turbo factory intercooled, independent rear end, factory midebody w/LSD, great community and damn could i go on. but it takes devotion. i dont think youve got it. Sorry if this offends you, but it sound like you dont have a clue what you want. You dont want a project car, sounds like you want a DD you can dick around with, and i dont mean to sound like theres anything wrong with that.

    Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.
