this summer im gonna buy a cheap project car and do loads of one off custom work on it but i dont know what to choose. i was thinking something like an early 106 /saxo,but also wouldnt mind doing another corsa as you can pick them up pretty cheap i spose. what do people suggest? dont really matter about engine size as it will all be changed.
