Help me decide on a hobby car

[Ultra_Extreme]

Ok im drivin a 306. but i want a hobby car to do up whilst i earn some no claims. it needs to be fast, sleek, attainable and very desirable. i want it for under £500 and am not overly fussed on anything except bodywork. Im looking at 3 years to fix it up and about 8k in total cost. i like the look of old skool chargers. gimmie your best.

wow thanks for all the replies, been away for a bit, some interesting ideas.

Capris, yes i like em, not sure of their emminent modability, whats the deal with newer engines in them?

Muscle cars....may be too pricey then i geuss, especially as in the end itll only be looks (and a lovely noise) that i get out of em

Old fords.....not worth the budget, never liked the old escorts or fiestas, only way id ever tinker would be if i became profficient enough to take one beyond the ordinary realms of modding, ie like my dads m8 who put a jag XJS engine laterally across the boot and back seats of a morris 8.

Another idea would be to take the V6 2.5 vectra engine ive seen going locally sub £150 and put it in something errrrr unexpected could be fun!
