I'm at a point in my life that I want to start building a car to keep. I've always built them, played, and sold for a profit if it worked out, in the last 15 years I think I've had around 30 cars. I've had a pile of 5.0 Mustangs and a pile of Honda's. I'm torn between a 5.0 Mustang (87-93) or a turbo Integra. I enjoy the sound of a 5.0 but the last few I built I had a good pile of money into by the time I was done and had to search for months to find a good clean one. I'm by no means a Honda master, but I've been messing with them since I was in diapers.

What do you nogs think ?

I briefly thought about a miata, however I'm 6ft and not sure if it would be uncomfortable.

Get a classic euro/japanese/whatever car, you have never work on and go crazy.

Maybe a classic mini.

If I was closer, with a passport, and had cash to spend.

I'm looking at getting a '79 mint Supra (MA46) w/ 35k miles always garaged for $3.5k sometime in March '15

Never looked at classic minis, what's available? I don't want to get into something that parts are a bitch to source.

highroller54 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 28, 2014, 07:26:26 PM »

Parts are no problem. You could build a brand new mini from a catalog.

Jmunk · « **Reply #14 on:** September 28, 2014, 07:41:01 PM »

I check craigslist around here for a mini, fuck. Cheapest was 10k. I could do a clean turbo DC teg coupe for half and have A/C.

highroller54 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 28, 2014, 08:11:37 PM »

Mines a 75 mini, b18c5, jenvey itb's, minitec front subframe, ls trans with LSD, come get it.

It's a pile of parts.

Oh yeah that reminds me 'busa swap in a smart car is another on my list.

I so happen to know a guy who can build headers that make more power than the almost all after market headers.
