Please Help Me Choose A Project Car

[sneakey pete]

my father in law works for a place that makes step side bodies for the old F trucks and his boss's wife has one. they only just got it fully together earlier this year after a few years (was only worked when they weren't busy). it started out in pretty bad shape. don't think it was complete to start with.

My dad has one that he rebuilt. Was rather rusted origionally, and he did the panel work himself, so its not the worlds best example of a fairlady. But it still goes just as well as a normal one, which is the main thing .

They're nice cars, though a bit... squishy. Had to get a smaller steering wheel on it just so that i could use the handbrake without it making my leg rub on the wheel. Don't really have much pull though, you might find yourself wanting more power, especially along the straights, (that's what a sr20det converstion is for though), but around the hills they're very fast. (about as fast as a mx5).

Hmm I reckon you should go for a S13, 32 or the 86

IF your thinking a 31 my not get a HR31 the coupe (apx4-7k) and build one up there are hardly any that are done up big time in aus.

mate the corolla ae92 would be a great project but its as front wheel drive as you can get! u should take the 4age out of it and put it in the ke55 u mentioned! keep the old school rollas on the road!

what is the issue with fwd? if you can't drive a fwd fast then you're just a crap driver, LOL

i dont have an issue with fwd! i prefer rwd car thou ......especially is its going to be for some track use etc..... the thread starter was kind of steering away from fwd format from what i read thats all!

im not against fwd... i just prefer a chuckable rear driver... better weight balance, bit more fun.. more engine bay room.

my 2c

ls1 powered s14

no thanks.. s14 too expensive... ls1 too garbage.

ive thought about that... they are still pretty expensive though.. find me one for 4k though, and its a different story, would have to be 2 door though..
