Hey guys i have gone back to university which is kool but sucks at the same time because i have no money to fund my car fetish. So for under 5K i am looking for a base to start a project car so far the best idea i have come up with is a Toyota Cressida, then when i save up source a JZX81 front cut and convert it to a beast, any others ideas would help

Thanks Jamie

sr20 into a mitsubishi sigma or datsun (can buy bolt up kits for the datsuns that have the engine mounts and stuff) or any small car as long as it isn't a gemini or torana

i know a guy with a turbo xf falcon for sale for about 3k. thats in qld, not sure where you are.

Mitsubishi Galant VR4. If you could stretch a little more out of the budget, it would be worth it. Some of those cars have been on there for ages, so you never know what offers they'll take.

Get an Na S13 and put a RB30E in it and turbo it like fatz. If I only had 5g to start that's what i would do :happy:

+1 for the s13 idea. for ~1.5k you could have a rolling shell. for another 3k you could have a rb30/25 in there if you play your cards right. you might go over, but a project isnt a project unless you blow your budget.

Sigma Turbo - Rare and in your price range .. Would pump most machines on the rd

it wont take it unless he rebuilds the motor or drops something decent in there.

Cefiro, 1988. You can pick one up for 5k-6k. Then as you earn money, do some work on it as you go...

My mate is doing the same thing, great buy for the package...
