Recommendations for a weekend track car

I'm thinking about getting something together just for the odd practice day or Super Sprint. I ran my AW11 in Type 1 unmodified and it was a lot of fun. However, I've got a company car now, so the AW11 was sold - but like a lot of you know, the itch to build/modify + race a car has come back to haunt me.
So I was looking at maybe an AE71 with 4AGE and going into Type 2 modified category. I want to keep the car street registered as I don't want to trailer the car around. I also want to keep the car cheap enough so that I only have to insure under 3rd party property, so about $4k to $5k is the limit. The budget it tight, so I might have to look for something already converted. I converted an AE86 to twin cam power so I'm happy to do drop in swaps, but don't want to have to fabricate. I don' want to be patching rust every weekend either. Have I already blown my budget?
Any other ideas for a good weekend racer that fits my criteria? Should I also be considering TA22/23, RA28 or KE25, KE55, KE70 Corollas? I know lots of suspension work required with any of my choices, but I want to start with a the best chassis for the job.
