Project Car: Which One?

[BLSTIC]

Hi people

As some of you may know, my EF just copped a T5, and is about to get a new engine. The problem is that at the end of the day, the car is still heavy, and is rapidly deteriorating. So I'm thinking of cutting my losses, and not modifying the car any further.

Which leaves me with nothing to spend money on. Booze and drugs aren't my thing, so I'm thinking of getting a car...

There are really only two major concerns: it must be lightweight (under 1300kg, but I can waive that if it has, or can have, a large engine) and RWD. Budget it also a concern, nothing that can't be had for over $3000.

The things on my mind are the later Cortina's (TC-TF body), a Scorpion, the mustang style Celicas, and things like that.

The Celica's look cool, the scorpions arent that bad, and I can get 150rwhp out of one for next to nothing, and the TE's look ok and can take a 4.0L OHC engine.

any other suggestions/thoughts?
