Thanks mate. Just checking camry prices on tpost then. Can get a late 80s for around 1.5k to 2.5k So I'm guessing 2.5k would buy a half decent one. They look pretty crap - but a lot of car for the money. Corona might be easier to work on (RWD) but as you said the camry is a bit more modern.
Should be good
Will keep an eye out in the local paper etc for a bargain.
Would be good for me to borrow also. A s/wagon can come in handy
