so iv pretty much decided on what truck im gettin and my dads buggin me to start a "project" with him. ya know that yucky bonding time haha.

so he cant decide if he wants to do an extreame woods beater or a fast *** car.

i want both but obviously can only do 1....... at a time

so im leaning more tword the car just cause im already gettin my tuck in a few months and itll be fun to have a car i can zip around goin 120.

so what kinda car you guys think would be a good starter, cause i dont think we wanna spend much more the like 6 grand on it. im personally thinking like a mustang, a lancer or a impala but i dont think there are many 5 speed impalas around here so what you guys think would be a good 1 to start with? ill deff listen to other suggestions.

wanna go fast! zoom zoom

 

be like everyone on else and build a civic, u'll be cool

 

lol nah they are good on gas but i dont like em never really been a civic fan i want a car with muscle

 

What about a third or fourth gen camaro or firebird? You could probly find a forth gen fbird with the 5.7 in it....

 

i was actually thinking about that cause my dad said we should do like a carlo or a tbird but im not gonna lie i kinda want a convertable =P

 

What year carlo? IMO the fourth gen SS are the best

 

i dont think he decided on a year if i was GONNA do a carlo it would have to be an older 1 i like those body styles the best

 

Yea the 1983-1986 SS are sick

 

The obvious choice is a fox body mustang. They are easy to modify, tons of aftermarket, and just fun as hell.

 

I'm a fan of the third gen camaro's but because of the tpi/tbi setup, a fox body would probably be easier to modify.

 

After reading that, I believe you should build a trail rig...

 

haha sorry jst got a new laptop still trying to get used to typing on it

 

fox body mustang, or a nissan 240sx. You can get those shells for like $500 and tons of engines to chose from....and they are RWD

 

Good choices but.....nahhh....Get a early 80's g-body 4 door preferably. Leave the outside stock, mod the engine, tranny, suspension. It's what i am in the process of doing right now. I picked up a 79 Pontiac Station wagon with a 400 poncho in it. Picked it up for 500 bucks. Sold the poncho engine allready to a poncho fan. I am going to put a 500ci caddy engine in it, do some small p/p on the heads and spray it for all it's worth. I can't wait for the look on riceboy's faces.

 

T-top over a convertible, unless you go back to the 60's- 70's on the car.

77-79 Trans Am (smokey and teh Bandit style) can be had for $2500 to $3500
Or a fox body T-top.
