you can get the gti's for about £400
will be very light when stripped cos i think french body panels are particularly wafery.

also early golf gti?

mk1 escort needs seam welding and strengthening, then a nice engine like a 2.1 pinto on carbs or zetec or cossie!

Cheap wise under 1k astra gte is best bet or 205 gti,
upto 4k id say a kit car for handling and power to weight! ask me all you like about them chap!!
