yeah, so I’m having a hard time finding a decent metro and having an even harder time finding a decent dodge omni. any other suggestions? I want a 4 banger with a manual trans… and want it to be compact (and CHEEP as a mofo)… bout the only requirements I have. the easier they are to find, the better (as I’ll probably be breaking alot of parts lol) ---

I’ve been looking on autotrader and not finding a whole lot (I dont want alot of rust, as this will be a weekend warrior/track car only) I did see a thunderbird turbocoupe for sale… but it’s kind of a hike ☹ not looking to spend more than 1000 or so I could care less if it didnt have an engine/trans… just need a good starting body/chasis ---

I’d love to… just finding one for the right price (and in good shape) is the problem. Also, people expect them to be quick though… I want something that people will laugh at, honestly lol 😃 (until they see nothing but tails) ---
