hi there i'm soon to be getting another car, i will want have about $2000 - $4000. then slowly modifying it slowly for a daily driver and a weekend warrior.
i would prefer not a front wheel drive
I was thinking either:
a series 1 or 2 RX7
a sprinter ( with later 4a gze with turbo convertion and a 20v head).
86-89 celica (i know a FF)
1600 datto
any help or other ideas would be a great help thanks

sprinter way out of budget unless you are getting a shitter with a 4ac in it, celica still maybe another 2K on top of what you have + more. even most datto's for a decent example head around the 5 K mark, not sure on the rx7, will be hard to find one that hasn't been raced and most cheap ones will either be thrashed or auto, any good exmaples will cost a mint.

86-89 celicas over in wa a about $4000 over here
1600's are about 1500-3000 with work
and once and a while you can get a sprinter for 2000 up in decent or needs work condition depending on the seller
a couple of other cars i was thinking of are
a VW beach buggy
a pervis eurika (a VW bettle base kit car)

Ask your mum for a loan and you can pick up this baby
<------
Group A #5 - very rare and unmodified. Its got enough grunt to keep you entertained for a while! PM me if your interested. Also a mate of mine is selling his project RX7, which he has new 13B I/C Turbo which is an absolute weapon! But you won't get into that for under 10k.

If you can stretch the budget to $6k by saving or getting a loan you'd be in a much better position to get a decent set of wheels.
Have a look on carsales and carpoint to see what you're dealing with.
e.g.

Cylinders . . . .6 cylinder
Kms . . . . . . .178,000

You know you wanna drop an RB26dett in there !

VW Beach buggy  that would be sweet
Peronsally I'd suggest the Toyota Celica. There would have too be more parts for 86-89 Celicas (not sure though). And isn't loke the majority of Sprinters I see for sale (Rusted). Just look about(doesn't really matter what sort of car you buy in the end) check every thing out (if not sure what to look for ask a mechinic or someone who know a bit about cars too look. If the seller tells you, he doesn't wan't a mechinic or someone else too look at it, tell him too get fucked! just be paitient and try not too for in love straight away.
